About Zen Explorer Meesterõivaste kollektsioon
Zen Explorer on meesterõivaste kollektsioon, mis on valmistatud antiiksetest tekstiilidest ja looduslikult värvitud kangastest. Ajalooline kangas kogutakse kokku ja sorteeritakse suuruse, paksuse ja hooaja järgi ning kombineeritakse seejärel uue materjaliga, mis on värvitud traditsioonilisel indigomeetodil. Indigo valmistatakse fermenteerimise teel, ilma tööstuslike kemikaalideta. Suur osa tööst tehakse käsitsi, mistõttu säilivad traditsioonilised käsitöövõtted ja mustrid. Kollektsioon ühendab vana kanga kaasaegse uuskasutusega ning pakub vastupidavaid ja ainulaadseid igapäevarõivaid.
