Colors from plants

On cold days, leg warmers are useful to keep your feet warm. MAITO's leg warmers are easy to wear and feature the color of plants.

Maito Komuro, the representative of MAITO has learned natural dyeing since childhood. Natural dye became popular in recent years, and even young people start to use natural dyed products in Japan. However, he felt that only a few products made use of the values of natural dyeing. It was why he started the brand, MAITO.

MAITO does not use chemicals but uses 100% natural colors derived from plants. Natural dyeing, which extracts colors from plants, has been handed down since ancient times. Commonly, natural dye means dyeing cloth or yarn. Yet MAITO dyes raw cotton to express various colors on one thread.

By dyeing raw cotton, MAITO is able to produce products that are more resistant to fading. They receive a higher rating in the color-fading test compared to general natural dyed products.

Not only the characteristic color but also the touch is a feature of MAITO products. Because the product is made of 100% cotton, it is recommended for those who have sensitive skin. It is also easy to wash.

The leg warmers look good on skirts and shorts. The cable stitch makes the product look unique. You can wear them on bare feet, on tights or with socks.

There are three colors, and all are natural colors obtained from plants.
Yashabushi: A color close to gray, taken from a plant similar to pine nuts
Shikou: Purple from the nest and sap of the giant scale insect
Indigo Logwood: Indigo of the Polygonaceae family and the dark indigo of Logwood native to Central America

The leg warmers are comfortable to wear, warm your body from your feet, and create a fashion with colors from plants. It is also recommended as a gift for a woman.
