Natural Feel of Organic Materials

Plant-Dyed Beads that Embrace Their Natural Beauty

Dye Made Exclusively from Natural Pigments

The dyes come from a wide variety of sources, including flowers, grasses, leaves, fruits, trees, roots, and even insects. While the extraction methods differ for each category, they all share a common principle: no color enhancement or mordants are used for fixation—only the natural pigments remain untouched.

A unique feature of our dyes is the use of organic herbal teas and potpourri, incorporating natural ingredients such as hibiscus, mallow blue, butterfly pea, marigold, rose, chamomile, rooibos, Furano lavender, blueberry, strawberry, cranberry, pistachio, paprika, and more.

Some dyes are extracted entirely in-house at Natio, from plant harvesting to pigment extraction, while others are derived from natural powdered ingredients commonly used in sweets and beverages.

Similar to “Sukumo Indigo,” we achieve beautiful gradations by adjusting the number of dyeing repetitions.

Reference to Antique Beads

At the demonstration of “Sukumo Indigo,” a question arose, “Isn’t there only one shade of indigo?” This sparked the creation of “Botanical Dye Beads.” The idea was to apply the antique bead dyeing techniques that use flowers, plants, and minerals as raw materials—methods that were prevalent in the era before chemical dyes—to the modern world.

The key to “Botanical Dye Beads” is to preserve the natural color tones, ensuring that the richness and hue differences arise naturally from the flowers and plants themselves. Initially, there was an attempt to standardize the colors to a certain degree, but it became clear that such adjustments would compromise the natural essence of botanical dyes. After categorizing by the types of flowers, plants, and trees, the final colors are left to the natural characteristics of the materials themselves.

28 Colors, Over 14,000 Different Types of Parts

The collection includes about 14,000 types of parts, including beads, acrylic, cotton pearls, and matte pearls, in varying shades. These color tones exude a gentle, natural charm that sets them apart from artificially dyed materials, creating a unique texture. As completely original handmade items, they offer a natural feel not found in industrial products.

With beads and parts that reflect the “natural texture connected to indigo” and “antique, natural dyeing,” we aim to assist those creating bead jewelry by enhancing their expressive capabilities. These items, ideal for expressing the sensibilities of designers and creators, are perfect for incorporating into the upcoming trend. Why not add “Botanical Dye Beads” to your repertoire?
