“Oh shoot!”🤦🏻 You ever had that moment where you spontaneously decided to grab some veggies but didn’t have a bag with you? Tie two knots and put one through the other, and voila! You have a mini veggie bag. Though it’s a piece of fabric, it can be pretty versatile🌱 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #uniquewithumique #umique #younme #webuildthebrandtogether #hawaiibrand #hilobrand #hawaiiinstagram #smallbusiness #handmade #hawaii #bigisland #hilo #ecofriendly #ethical #furoshiki #furoshikiwrap #sustainableliving #ウミーク #ハワイブランド #ヒロブランド #ハンドメイド #ハワイ #ハワイ島 #ヒロ #エコ #エシカル #風呂敷 #暮らしにもっとふろしきを #サスティナブル (at Hilo, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/COeDKtOsFym/?igshid=1qmk88ld9p6wz

⏱Time for some history lesson!⏱ Since we have been introducing our hemp print collection for this past week, so why not learn about the pattern? Japanese in origin, this hexagon-based pattern is called “Asa-no-ha pattern,” and is a resemblance of a hemp leaf🇯🇵🍁 It has a SUUUPER long history. You ask, how long? 1200 years!! HEIAN PERIOD Asa-no-ha pattern was first seen in the adornments of Buddha statues in Buddhist art from the Heian Period (late 8c to late 12c). After 400 years, in the Edo Period (17c to mid-19c), the pattern started to appear on clothes. It was usually seen in children’s clothing. The Asa-no-ha pattern was used for children’s clothing with a hope that they grow healthy just like how the hemp plants grow fast, straight, and tall. It was also believed to keep the evil spirits away. This is only a brief historical background of the pattern, so I will post the more in-depth part of it on Story so come check it out! The reason I decided to use this pattern in my work was because 1) I love GEOMETRIES 2) to introduce old art form to this current time 3) hemp is highly versatile plant that can be processed into numerous things, and can take a very important role in sustainability. I really wanted to share the history with you on this pattern since I use them a lot for my products (and I needed a history lesson myself). So remember, when you get one of our products with the Asa-no-ha print, you’re equipping yourself with a piece of Japanese culture dating back 1200 years. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #uniquewithumique #umique #younme #webuildthebrandtogether #hawaiibrand #hilobrand #hawaiiinstagram #smallbusiness #handmade #hawaii #bigisland #hilo #ecofriendly #ethical #hemp #japan #japanese #art #wearinghistorypatterns #ウミーク #ハワイブランド #ヒロブランド #ハンドメイド #ハワイ #ハワイ島 #ヒロ #エコ #エシカル #麻の葉 #和柄 (at Hilo, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/COSOrpmMFLD/?igshid=17dyypy4mt2kw

SWIPE to watch time-lapse of carving process🔪🔪 Have seen our new pattern printed masks yet? This one here came from what I painted on a terracotta pot the other day and thought, "why don't I print the same pattern on a mask?" And it turned out perfect! Handprinted using hand carved linoleum sheet. I call it giraffe, but what do you think? Available now in Umīque online store.

Believe it or not, avocado gives pink as a dye🥑🥑 I get a lot of surprised reaction when I tell people at the market that the pink furoshiki & box tote are from avo dye. So, here's a quick recipe. 1️⃣ Cut up pits & skin into smaller pieces in order let the color come out faster. I cut the pits into quarters. 2️⃣ Simmer it for 50-60min. Don't let the water boil. 3️⃣ Let it sit overnight for deeper color. 4️⃣ Remove avo pieces. 5️⃣ Dip a fabric of your choice (try cotton). The fabric needs to be washed with soap and soaked in water for at least 1 hour prior to dyeing. 6️⃣ Let the dyebath simmer for at least an hour. 7️⃣ Let it cool in the pot. You can leave it overnight for deeper color. Natural dye isn't hard at all. It's something you can try at home, so why not give it a shot🥑 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #uniquewithumique #umique #younme #webuildthebrandtogether #hawaiibrand #hilobrand #hawaiiinstagram #smallbusiness #handmade #hawaii #bigisland #hilo #naturaldye #avocado #avo #naturalcolor #pink #tryathome #project #ウミーク #ハワイブランド #ヒロブランド #ハンドメイド #ハワイ #ハワイ島 #ヒロ #アボカド #自然染め #天然染め #ピンク (at Hilo, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS6OJwqL8Wa/?utm_medium=tumblr

"All you think about is dyes!" You may think... Um, maybe?🤔 We grow our own morigolds for the beautiful yellow color they give, and the flowers have been blooming like crazy! That means as many seeds are ready for harvest. 2nd generation here they come🏵🏵 Last photo shows the marigold shibori dye I did for my handmade apron (it's reversible🥴). _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #uniquewithumique #umique #younme #webuildthebrandtogether #hawaiibrand #hilobrand #hawaiiinstagram #smallbusiness #handmade #hawaii #bigisland #hilo #naturaldye #flowerdye #marigold #apron #natureprovides #ウミーク #ハワイブランド #ヒロブランド #ハンドメイド #ハワイ #ハワイ島 #ヒロ #草木染め #天然染め #前掛け #マリーゴールド #あいみょん (at Hilo, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSxIns8pBPI/?utm_medium=tumblr

TURMERIC SHIBORI BOX TOTE First step to soil-to-soil product. Took a piece of organic cotton 10oz canvas and made multiple pinch points to make the pattern. Then, soaked it in turmeric dye bath for 30min. Take off all the cordage, and there I had a perfect shibori patterned fabric. This tote has a front pocket, which is a vintage Japanese silk fabric I found at a local store here in Hilo. Sewn with cotton thread. This means all the parts of the bag except for the brand tag can go back to the soil after it wears out. 🔄Soil-to-soil product is something that is organic and natural that can be put back into the natural cycle when it no longer can be used.🔄 My next step would be to change the brand tag from poly to cotton! TURMERIC SHIBORI BOX TOTE available at our online store. Link in bio. - - - - - - - - - - ターメリック絞り染めトートバッグ 土に還る商品製作の第一歩となりました。 オーガニックコットンキャンバス地につまみをいくつも作ります。その後にターメリック染液に30分浸けこみます。取り出し��つまみの紐を解いて完成。 このトートバッグにはヒロのお店で調達したヴィンテージの絹生地が使われております。 縫製は綿糸を使用。 完全に使い古した後、ブランドのタグ以外は全て土に還せるということになります。 🔄土に還る商品というのはモノが寿命を迎えたときに土に還り、分解されて自然のサイクルに戻るようなものをいいます🔄 僕の今後の課題はブランドのタグをポリ製から綿製に替えることですね🙋🏽‍♂️ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #uniquewithumique #umique #younme #webuildthebrandtogether #hawaiibrand #hilobrand #hawaiiinstagram #handmade #hawaii #bigisland #hilo #totebag #tote #soiltosoil #biodegradable #slowfashion #shibori #naturaldye #turmeric #ウミーク #ハワイブランド #ヒロブランド #ハンドメイド #ハワイ #ハワイ島 #ヒロ #自然染め #トートバッグ #エコバッグ #絞り染め (at Hilo, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSv2xAyr5DK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Passion for natural dye has grown in me this past month🧅🥑🏵 Dyeing ropes; I started teaching myself a new alley of handcrafting, which is macramé. It's just simply twisting, braiding & tying, but I find creating patterns through these process very calming+therapeutic. The techniques I have been learning through lei making is really paying off. Keeping consistent tension, aligning each knot, etc. If you know, you know!haha I'll be focusing on making keychain straps, tassels for the clutches for now👝🪢 - - - - - - - - - - ここ最近、天然染めにどハマり中でございます🧅🥑🏵 生地だけではなく紐を染めてマクラメを独学でやり始めました。ねじったり編んだり、単純な作業ですがそれがすごく落ち着くので気に入ってます。 フラを通して学ばせてもらっているレイ作りの技術がここで大活躍してます👋🏼 とりあえず今はクラッチバッグに使えるようなタッセルやストラップを製作していこうと思っています👝🪢 #uniquewithumique #umique #younme #webuildthebrandtogether #hawaiibrand #hilobrand #hawaiiinstagram #smallbusiness #handmade #hawaii #bigisland #hilo #naturaldye #plantdye #naturaldyersofinstagram instagram #macrame #handcraft #ウミーク #ハワイブランド #ヒロブランド #ハンドメイド #ハワイ #ハワイ島 #ヒロ #天然染め #草木染め #マクラメ #独学 #手作り #手編み (at Hilo, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSNU6TTBqxk/?utm_medium=tumblr
