Our Philosophy
Chromatic Kintsugi
What if the parts of you that feel broken are the most worthy of celebration? At More ∞ Joy, we believe healing doesn’t have to mean hiding. It can mean illuminating. Just as traditional Japanese kintsugi repairs cracked pottery with gold, Chromatic Kintsugi repairs emotional and energetic breaks with color. Our philosophy is simple: we don’t need to fix ourselves—we need to color ourselves whole. Every pigment is an opportunity. Every stain, every tear, every faded part of a garment becomes the starting point of a new story. You bring the wounds. We get the palette. Together, we create joy.
The 4 Principles of Chromatic Kintsugi
- Honor the Imperfect
- We begin with what is already there: worn clothes, emotional weight, forgotten colors. Nothing is thrown away. Nothing is dismissed.
- Let Color Be the Healer
- Each hue holds a vibration. Through dash dyeing, we let those vibrations guide us—infusing garments with intention, clarity, and emotion.
- Co-Create with Nature
- Our process is guided by water, wind, gravity, and your energy. The pigments land how they want. The earth collaborates.
- Celebrate the Transformation
- A garment that once symbolized pain becomes a wearable testimony of healing. That is joy. That is kintsugi.
Dash Dyeing as a Healing Practice
Unlike traditional dyeing, dash dyeing is expressive, chaotic, and layered—just like recovery. When you pour color onto fabric, you’re not covering something up. You’re revealing it. You’re saying: this is where it changed. This is where I chose to transform. It’s not about being neat. It’s about being real. Chromatic Kintsugi invites you to ask yourself what colors make you feel alive, what parts of you have been hidden that you’re now ready to highlight, and how you might reclaim the stories your clothes carry. Every time you dash-dye, you’re creating a wearable marker of your evolution.
Each garment becomes an archive of your emotions: a halter top you dyed the day you left a toxic job, a scarf that carries the color of your first solo retreat, a wrap dyed by your child during a moment of family reconnection. These are not just clothes. They are color-charged companions for your journey.
Chromatic Kintsugi invites you to ask:
What colors make me feel alive?
What parts of me have I hidden that I can now highlight?
How can I reclaim the stories my clothes carry?
Every time you dash-dye, you create a wearable marker of your evolution.
