HARA Highlights No. 2 March

01 Japan’s Sacred Indigo Dyeing Tradition

As I continue exploring the process of natural dyeing our fabrics, I traveled to Japan to immerse myself in new dyeing techniques. Recently, I visited Kyoto to learn about the traditional Japanese dyeing method known as Aizome, or indigo dyeing. This ancient craft, passed down through generations, uses natural indigo extracted from the Japanese indigo plant. It's a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that demands both patience and focus. What makes this art form truly special is not only the vibrant blue it produces but also the way it enhances the strength and durability of the fabric.

03 Vietnam Production - Sampling

 

Heading to Vietnam to sample new products for HARA is always such an exciting and grounding part of the journey. There’s something really powerful about seeing the process unfold in real time.

I feel incredibly honoured to work alongside a female-led team who are leaders in ethical and sustainable production. Their deep knowledge, care, and unwavering commitment to both people and mother earth remind me why we do what we do. This partnership is built on shared values—transparency, respect, and integrity—and it’s a privilege to collaborate with women who lead with purpose.

Each trip deepens my appreciation for everyone behind our creations.

04 Scrapbooking

A visual and tactile way to document life’s moments—photographing, collecting, and curating memories, words, and even small keepsakes like receipts or pressed flowers. More than just a creative outlet, scrapbooking is a mindful practice, allowing you to slow down, reflect, and find meaning in everyday experiences. 

Inspired by Elena Téa.
