History: 
Nestled in the textile-rich region of Hyogo, Japan, the brand Niime Tamaki is a testament to the enduring legacy of ‘Banshu-ori,’ a traditional Japanese weaving style that was developed in the 1700s and faced extinction in the mid-1980s. Designer, Tamaki Niime spearheaded its revival in 2006, breathing new life into this time-honored craft.  In Niime’s quest for textiles that embody both history and sustainability, the designer went a step further by cultivating her own materials, including the organic cotton used for all of her pieces. Adjacent to her looms, a working field thrives, where the organic cotton takes root and flourishes, ensuring that the entire creative process of crafting Niime — from nurturing the cotton plant to dyeing the thread to weaving — are all done meticulously at the highest standards in one place.  

Materials:
100% organic cotton

Variation: 
This item is an “Only One” item. The concept means that each apron is a one-off item and there’s only one of it in existence with these colors and cut. Tamaki Niime chooses different thread colors for every single “Only One” apron, so each item is totally unique from other aprons within their line.

Care Instructions:
Machine wash safe on delicates cycle, but place in a net when washing.  Line dry only.  No iron.
