Frequently asked questions
Q. How much does it cost to re-dye?
A. The price will vary depending on the color you would like to have re-dyed and the weight of the garment. The price will be slightly higher for heavier garments as more work will be required. For example, the price will be different for a short-sleeved T-shirt and a hoodie, with the hoodie being more expensive.
The cheapest plan is the "Dyeing Gacha" which costs 1,980 yen per item (tax included, for a short-sleeved T-shirt), and the other plans are mostly in the 3,000 to 5,000 yen range.

A: It is as follows.
[Notes] *Please be sure to read before placing your order.
①The color can be applied to natural and semi-synthetic plant-based fibers (cotton, linen, rayon, Tencel, cupra, etc.) .
For items containing synthetic fibers (polyester, acrylic, etc.), the higher the percentage of synthetic fibers, the lighter the finished color will be. We recommend items that contain at least 50% natural plant fibers. This will be written on the clothing label, so please check before applying.
② If chemicals or oil are present, this may cause unevenness .
Damaged parts may become more damaged during the stirring process, so please check in advance.
3. Even if a T-shirt is labeled "100% cotton," the sewing thread may be polyester, etc. In this case, the thread will not be dyed .
Also, when dyeing a product, if the body material and the washing label or brand tag are made of the same material, they will be dyed in the same way.
