Textile waste doesn’t start in your closet. It starts in production.

20–30% of garments made globally go unsold. Yes! 20-30%

Overproduction isn’t a consumer problem. It’s an industry problem.

Conscious production matters.

“Why are you always out of stock?”
Fair question. It’s our #1 complaint too.

Here’s the honest answer:
We don’t overproduce.
We don’t raise VC money to flood warehouses.
We don’t do fire sales to clear excess inventory.

Every AIZOME piece is made slowly, in coordination with organic cotton growers, medicinal plant dyers, and production partners. That means we make only what we can stand behind.

Yes, it means we sometimes sell out.
But it also means nothing is rushed, diluted, or made just to hit a number.

Everything restocks in March. Thank you for your patience. Pre-orders are open.

We had a wonderful Live with Sam Gutierrez and talked about a surprising truth in science, among other things:

We don’t fully know how. But we know plant dyes work.

What we do know:
• Plant dyeing has to be done properly for the textile to retain its biological properties
• Researchers found that indigo-dyed fabric accelerated wound healing, even outperforming Betadine in studies
• The findings were challenged because the exact mechanism couldn’t yet be explained

What we hope:
To conduct more studies in the near future and continue uncovering the science behind what plants already know.

🧠 No, you don’t have a plastic spoon in your brain.

But that claim? It went viral.

"You eat a credit card’s worth of plastic each week."
“There’s a spoonful of plastic in your brain.”

We’ve all seen them. They’re scary. They spread. But are they true?

According to The Guardian, many of these widely repeated claims are “based on limited or flawed studies, or on assumptions that don’t hold up.”

That doesn’t mean microplastics are harmless.
It means the science is complex and oversimplifying it isn’t helping.

Standards first. Recognition follows. We don't talk about awards very often. Cannes Lions is widely considered the highest international award in advertising and design. Receiving a Gold for WASTECARE mattered to us . Not as a trophy, but as proof that the work was examined closely.

Organic cotton doesn’t mean non-toxic.
White doesn’t mean clean.

Most bedding is finished with chemicals you’ll never see.
Some of it ends up on your skin. Some of it ends up in the ocean.

We removed all of it.

Sleep in what supports healing.

People think antimicrobial textiles need silver or copper.
That anything natural is a gimmick that washes out.

So we tested it.

Independent lab testing.
Deep Indigo and Rosé Rubia fabrics.
Controlled conditions measuring reduction of microorganisms on the textile surface.

The result?
Our plant dyes remained antimicrobial after 20+ washes
and outperformed silver and copper against bacteria, fungi, staph, candida, and E. coli.

Natural doesn’t mean weaker.
It means smarter.

The natural dye revolution isn’t coming.
It’s already here.

A personal story that connects ancient Japanese indigo, modern medicine, and a forgotten truth about textiles.
From samurai armor to a cancer ward, this is the moment color stopped being decorative and became an ingredient.

Most textiles aren’t designed around people. They’re designed around production systems.

At AIZOME, we argue about the important things so you don’t have to.

From unbleached cotton to living indigo vats, Seed to Sheet breaks down the production choices we keep fighting for, all in service of skin, biology, and time.
