YURIKA - AVOCADO SKIN DYED HANDKERCHIEF
Natural Dye
Natural-Dye (Kusaki-zome) is one of Yurika's artistic project.
She uses everyday objects, reused leftovers, street weeds, flowers to convey that there are surprises, lots of color, and beauty, hidden in everyday life.
And as an artist herself, she connects with restaurants, retailers, and users to challenge efforts to create a big circle of cycles from a small dot.
“Eat it, Touch it, See it, Enjoy it!”

Everything is dyed by hand with the help of everyday objects and nature. Since each piece is dyed by hand, every color, pattern, and shape is different. They can be used not only as handkerchiefs, but also as kitchen decorations, fashion accessories, gauze for children, bags for wrapping important items, and for a variety of other purposes.
Natural colors gradually fade over time. Please enjoy the change with the user.
