The culmination of dyeing techniques adds elegance to everyday life.
Dye-Works Sawa has been providing high-quality products for over 90 years by harnessing the tradition and techniques we have cultivated and employing our unique dyeing technology. Our methods honor time-honored techniques while integrating modern innovations to achieve unparalleled color and texture.
Our signature “Le Point Dyeing” technique dyes only the surface of the thread, allowing the natural whiteness of the core to shine through and producing fabrics that capture the distinctive, natural character and refined quality of hemp. In addition, by employing specialized techniques such as “Grano Dye” and “Space Dyeing (Kasuri),” we achieve delicate color nuances and a deep, rich finish. These techniques require both exceptional artisanal skill and refined sensibility at every stage, which is why Dye-Works Sawa’s dyeing technology is truly one-of-a-kind.
We offer a wide range of dyeing methods—from traditional “Kase Thread Dyeing” to modern techniques like “Cheese Dyeing” and “Fabric Dyeing”—all characterized by our unwavering commitment to color and our flexible responsiveness to our customers’ needs.
Dye-Works Sawa’s dyeing technology adapts gracefully to changing times while still evoking the enduring spirit of tradition. We hope that our dyed hemp products will continue to add a vibrant touch to your everyday life.










We are dedicated to pursuing and refining our techniques with heartfelt care to provide high-quality products that satisfy our customers. While cherishing tradition, it is our mission to adapt flexibly to changing times and create new value. We will continue to spare no effort in delivering products that exceed our customers’ expectations.
