These beautiful indigo-dyed chabu are crafted in collaboration with Taiwanese designer Jieyu Jiang, who is dedicated to creating natural, hand-dyed pieces that bring harmony to everyday life. Jieyu’s work is deeply rooted in nature; she transforms natural elements into her creations and passes on traditional dyeing techniques to future generations. She enjoys experimenting with roots, stems, leaves, and even agricultural waste, discovering unexpected colors that breathe new life into her work.

There is a wonderful selection of different styles to choose from:

Gradient Designs

These are made from hand-woven cotton and come in several styles inspired by elements of nature with the colors flowing gently from light to dark, reminiscent of the sky or bodies of water. These chabu are 45cm by 150cm and a wonderful size for bowl tea.

Solid Designs

These are made from linen and dyed in two styles of light blue or dark blue. The dimensions of the chabu are 30cm by 100cm and are perfect for gongfu tea sessions or a solo tea practice.

The Dyer

Jieyu Jiang

Jieyu Jiang is a Taiwanese indigo dye artist working from her studio, Sanshi Dye Studio. She first encountered indigo while studying graphic design at university, and has spent the past ten years exploring natural dyeing through functional textiles and works of art. She treasures the quiet waiting as cloth rests in the dye vat, surrounded by the fermented scents of plants, sugar and alcohol: a moment in which she feels herself becoming part of the dye.

Her recent work is guided by what she calls a "shift in perspective." After years of mastering materials, techniques and subtle changes in color, she has begun intentionally embracing marks once considered imperfections, transforming them into part of her creative language.
