Our overdyeing process refreshes existing garments with rich, layered color while reducing waste. By re-dyeing pieces instead of starting from scratch, we extend the life of every garment and minimize the need for new materials. The result is a small-batch Overdye Collection with depth, character, and a lower-impact footprint.
How to wear overdye
Overdyed pieces are meant to feel easy, a little lived-in, and quietly special. Their subtle variations in tone make them incredibly versatile, whether you’re dressing for a workday, weekend, or carry-on-only trip. Use these ideas as a starting point and mix them into what you already own.
- Pair an overdyed tee or shirt with your favorite worn-in denim for a soft, tonal look that still feels intentional.
- Layer an overdyed dress under a denim jacket or over slim pants for a textured, color-washed outfit that moves from day to night.
- Use overdyed joggers or pants to upgrade your everyday uniform, swapping them in wherever you’d usually reach for basic sweats or leggings.
Overdye care tips
Because each overdyed piece is made from existing garments, caring for them gently keeps both the fabric and color looking their best. A few small habits on laundry day go a long way toward preserving that subtle, washed-in finish. Start with these basics.
- Wash inside out on a cold, gentle cycle to help maintain the color and softness of the overdye finish.
- Avoid harsh detergents and bleach; choose a mild, color-safe formula instead.
- Lay flat or hang to dry rather than tumble drying to help prevent fading and keep the fabric drapey and comfortable.
Quick answers, before you add to cart
Not sure if overdyed pieces are right for your closet? These quick answers cover the most common questions so you can feel good about what you’re adding to your cart.
Will the color of my overdyed piece be uniform?
Not exactly, and that’s the beauty of it. Overdyeing creates subtle variations and depth in color, so each garment has its own slightly unique, washed-in look.
Do overdyed garments fade quickly?
With gentle care—washing cold, inside out, and line drying—your overdyed pieces should soften and age beautifully, not dramatically fade. The finish is designed to wear in, not wear out.
Round out your wardrobe
Overdyed staples play well with your favorite denim, knits, and everyday basics, adding just enough color and texture to keep outfits interesting. Once you’ve found your go-to shade, it’s easy to build outfits around it that work all week long.
