when light becomes part of the design.
We combine hand embroidery with photochromic threads: photochromic and regular threads are stitched together so that only selected thread areas “wake up” under sunlight and reveal gradient color.
How it’s made
-
Design
Designers sketch inspired by light and nature and mark photochromic zones.
-
Zoning
We decide which thread sections use photochromic yarn and which use regular thread.
-
Mixed Stitching
Artisans stitch photochromic and regular threads together in the same embroidery pass — photochromic areas reveal color under sunlight/UV while regular areas remain stable.
-
QC
QC tests color response under standard UV and natural light before packing and shipping.
Embroidery: texture and light, stitch by stitch
Dense stitching and thread direction create dimensional texture; photochromic yarns are woven in so only sun-exposed threads change color. Unlike flat prints, embroidery keeps texture longer, resists cracking, and the color-change is built into the yarn — not a surface coating.
- Dimensional feel & depth
- Greater durability vs. surface prints
- Color-change engineered in the yarn
60% Cotton / 40% New Polyester
Mint-tech cooling fabric
To carry heavy embroidery yet keep comfort, we use a mint-cooling fabric featuring quick-dry, antibacterial, mite-resistant, cooling yarns and negative-ion properties. Feature summaries and test highlights are available on request.

Care & durability: prolong color response and embroidery life
Wash inside out by hand or on a gentle 30°C cycle; avoid harsh bleach and high-heat tumble drying.
Avoid heavy abrasion or sharp contact to prevent thread damage.
Photochromic response will gradually diminish with frequent washing and heavy abrasion — follow care instructions to prolong life.
Safety first — because beauty should be safe to wear.
Our color-change is engineered into the yarn, not painted on — photochromic pigments are encapsulated in industry-grade threads and stitched together with regular thread so only selected areas wake in sunlight. We choose suppliers who follow recognized safety frameworks and validate finished pieces with color-response and durability checks.
- Photochromic yarn — lower risk than surface coatings.
- Material features & inks selected with consumer safety in mind.
- Functional checks: UV color-response, wash/durability tests, and thread-fastness.
