Lyocell is a regenerated fiber made from wood pulp, such as eucalyptus.
It features an elegant luster like silk, a smooth feel, and beautiful drape.
It is highly absorbent and breathable, and its strength does not easily decrease when wet, making it a durable and shrink-resistant material.
It also has properties that prevent static electricity.

Silk is a natural fiber derived from silkworm cocoons.
Its appeal lies in its pearl-like luster and supple, soft texture.
It is highly absorbent and moisture-releasing, and woven from fine threads, it achieves a light and smooth feel.

Modal Silk Chambray

＞Modal 90％
＞Silk 10%

・Modal is a type of rayon, but unlike other types of rayon, it is made from beech wood pulp. Therefore, it is regarded as a synthetic fiber that coexists with nature because it is made without producing harmful waste.
・Silk is an animal fiber from cocoons made by silkworms and has a smooth texture.

The combination of these two fibers gives the fabric an elegant luster and a loose, beautiful movement that is comfortable to wear. This fabric is ideal for wearing as a scarf or stole.

“In the process"(tochu) of traditional crafts

Tie-dye scarves "TOCHU" are scarves and stoles made by finishing the process of making them, with the idea that "the process of craftsmanship is interesting. It is not the craftsman who completes TOCHU, but the user. Untying a tochu is a time to learn about the craft as well as a time to enjoy unwrapping a gift. Enjoy the craftsmanship and wisdom of the craftsman.

Collaboration with Tabata Shibori

Tabata Shibori / Established 19 years ago

TOCHU uses the tie-dye technique. This is a dyeing technique that creates a pattern by tying or pressing a part of the cloth to create a dyed pattern by dyeing only that part of the cloth.

There are over 100 different dyeing techniques. Each has a completely different dyeing process and each is made by hand with the delicate techniques of craftsmen. This is a collaboration with "Tabata Shibori", a craftsman of Kyoto Kanoko-shibori (shibori).

Yokodan Shibori

Yokodan Shibori is a technique of dyeing by folding the fabric into eight folds (mountain fold and valley fold), tying the threads at equal intervals, and then skipping one step to prevent dyeing in the areas that are not to be dyed. Since the border is made using the shibori technique, the lines are not as straight as you might think when you hear the word "border," but the lines are charming with a little bit of the shibori look.

Refining techniques

The "tesuji shibori" technique involves carefully creating fine pleats in fabric and then wrapping them with thread to tie-dye the fabric.
It is characterized by the delicate and vibrant striped patterns that appear when the fabric is unfurled.

Itajime shibori

The "itajime shibori" technique creates patterns by folding fabric between two square boards (型板 - kataban, "pattern boards") and dyeing it.
By dyeing the outer edges of the squares to prevent the dye from penetrating the center, a checkered pattern is produced.

Sekka Shibori

Sekka shibori is a technique of making patterns by placing a folded cloth between triangular boards (katagata) and dyeing it. Because of the triangular plates, the pattern created by this technique looks like a snowflake, hence the name "Sekka" (snowflake). By using a dye with less fine particles, the pattern is not clearly shaped, but rather blurred, creating a beautiful, fresh pattern.

Striped tie-dye

Horizontal Stripe Shibori is a technique where the fabric is folded into eight (mountain and valley folds), threads are tied at equal intervals, and every other section is resist-dyed without tying to create the stripes.

Since the borders are created using the shibori technique, the lines are not as perfectly straight as one might imagine for a typical border, but instead have a charming, slightly textured appearance that retains the unique feel of shibori.
