Part of the magic of our trip organised by @LeafLuberon resides in all the workshops we got to visit
Also known as « Denim paradise », this factory not only weaves all kinds of fabric, including sublime denims, it also dyes it’s threads in traditional aidate vats.
A ceramic workshop that produces beautiful objects, from a tea cup to a 100l indigo vat..
So taken by the place I forgot to take much picture.. The incredible beauty and range of their washi paper just blew my mind… Thank god I had plenty of space in my suitcase!
Wood paradise… The rice container I bought will let keep the rice warm for a good while, and will let it cool down without becoming hard and dry… that’s Japanese perfection for you!
