Inspired by the poised stance of Charlotte Perriand as she gazed upon the towering Alps, the Charlotte5 jeans feature a sleek fit around the hips and a gracefully straight fall to the hem, embodying an elegant silhouette. These jeans are crafted for women who admire form and function in equal measure.

The fabric, slightly lighter than our 14-ounce Futatabi 6.5 fabric, is woven on vintage shuttle looms from the 1950s. This method ensures a dense weave that feels unexpectedly light and breathable when worn. The deep Ai Indigo dye, applied through numerous dyeing sessions, matures slowly over time, transitioning to a misty purple shade that remains sophisticated wash after wash. Designed to endure and evolve without losing its refined hue, these jeans offer lasting style and a testament to the unique characteristics of Ai Indigo. Perfect for those who cherish garments that beautifully narrate the passage of time.

How Does Natural 藍 Ai Indigo Denim Age?

Top: Regular Indigo Dye | Bottom: Natural 藍 Ai Indigo Dye

Both pairs are 45R denim, aged over five years, each showcasing indigo blue's beauty. Regular indigo dye presents the "Nakaziro" effect, where the warp's fading indigo exposes the weft's white yarns over time, transitioning the color to a bluish white. In contrast, Natural Ai Indigo dye fades slowly, maintaining a deep indigo hue even with prolonged wear.

This unique aging, known as "Nakaziro," highlights the charm of rope-dyed indigo. As the warp threads lighten, the weft's white threads become visible.

100% natural Ai Indigo differs from regular indigo in that its dye particles are exceptionally fine, allowing the dye to penetrate deeply into the fibers. As a result, even as the denim ages, the weft threads that emerge also display the indigo color, continuously creating a deep blue hue.

Leaves of Persicaria tinctoria, the source of natural Ai Indigo dye
Fermenting and resting the leaves repeatedly to develop the dye
Natural Ai Indigo dye, over a year in the making.

Our natural Ai Indigo is derived from the Persicaria tinctoria plant, grown in Japan. The process involves planting the seeds, nurturing the plants, and harvesting them—followed by fermentation—a journey that takes between one to one and a half years to produce the dye itself.
