A ZUTTO spring coat made from nylon dyed with plant-based colors. Wear it light and casual.

Arriving just as we begin, little by little, to think about spring coats, here is the Onivege Nylon Hooded Coat.

This time, ZUTTO designed a coat for those moments when you want to head out with a slightly casual look. Because it's outerwear that naturally draws attention, we made no compromises when choosing the material. It has an adorable silhouette with a hood, made from a distinctive and interesting cotton-like nylon fabric. This material holds back the slick, glossy texture typical of nylon, resulting in a coat with the calm, crisp feel of washed cotton—both in appearance and to the touch. And because it's nylon, you can wear it with ease, which is one more reason it makes you want to reach for it whenever you go out.

A commitment to quality is a commitment to materials.

The "Onivege Nylon Hooded Coat" comes in natural, nuanced colors. Its two shades—a soft beige and a navy as rich as denim—reveal, each time you look closely at the fabric, an exquisite sense of color balance. You might wonder: natural colors from nylon? How is that possible?

The reason behind these natural colors lies in the pigments used to dye the fabric: fig and ai (indigo), respectively.

Let's talk about the appeal of Onivege Nylon.

The Onivege Nylon used for this coat is a hybrid material—synthetic fiber dyed with the help of natural pigments. For this collection, ZUTTO selected two colors dyed using an original blended natural dye: a synthetic dye based on quercetin extracted from onion skins, combined with the colors of fig and indigo respectively. The refreshing, cool touch characteristic of nylon paired with the natural pigments of fig and indigo might seem like an unusual combination at first glance, but the exquisite, nuanced color that results is truly wonderful.

BEIGE / Fig

A lovely beige dyed using fig. Cherished since ancient Roman times as a source of sweetness, the fig has long been called the fruit of eternal youth and longevity. Sweet, rich, and full-bodied, it is said—according to one theory—that the fruit of the tree of knowledge eaten by Adam and Eve in the Old Testament was, in fact, the fig. It stands as a symbol of abundant harvest.

NAVY / Ai (indigo)

A navy with the depth of denim. Ai (Japanese indigo) needs no introduction as a beautiful blue dye. Used across the world since ancient times, its history stretches back as far as the Indus Valley Civilization around 4500 BCE. Its calm, deep hue carries a distinctly mature elegance.

The rich, layered pigments held within the leaves, stems, and roots of plants. The delicacy and depth of character that emerge from blending these natural pigments cannot be achieved with chemical dyes alone—this is a fabric that, like denim, offers the pleasure of aging beautifully over time, a joy unique to natural pigments.

Knowing that you're wearing the colors of plants makes choosing somehow more endearing than simply picking a color you like—and, strangely enough, it brings a certain calm to the heart. Perhaps this is the healing power that nature holds.

When you touch the coat, you'll notice a crisp, textured feel that's both soft and firm. Medium-weight and fully capable of blocking a cold breeze, it's still unlined and single-layered, offering a lightweight, refreshing wearing experience—perfect for the season as the weather gradually warms. Made from 100% nylon, the fabric doesn't bunch up awkwardly when putting it on or taking it off, making it a coat you'll want to wear for temperature adjustment during your commute to school or work. It also has a light, airy quality that flutters in the breeze when you turn around, making it perfect for the coming season as spring approaches.

The fabric's fine wrinkles, not too neatly pressed, give it the atmosphere of washed cotton, and this brings out the natural tones of the plant-based pigments beautifully. This gentle, unpretentious character—hardly what you'd expect from nylon—is what makes Onivege Nylon so remarkable: wearing it as the finishing touch to an outfit lets you achieve a relaxed, effortlessly soft style.

Details worth noting

1. A hood with a soft silhouette

One of the charms of a hooded coat is its relaxed, easy silhouette. The design is simple and easy to wear, but the generously sized hood ensures it looks cute from every angle, 360 degrees around.

2. Buttons that make putting it on and taking it off easy

The coat features snap buttons that fasten with a simple press. Since you can open and close them with one hand, putting the coat on or taking it off is easy even when your hands are full with luggage. The buttons are also on the larger side, so they serve as a nice accent when the coat is worn open.

3. A vent in the back of the coat

A vent is included at the back of the coat to make walking easier, so it can be worn over wide-leg pants or an A-line skirt without feeling restrictive. Because it accommodates the silhouette of whatever you wear underneath, this is a coat you'll want to reach for every day.

From the designer: "Oni-vegetable nylon is such an interesting material. With plenty of room in the body and sleeves, this piece came out with a real sense of movement—the kind that makes you want to sway side to side the moment you put it on. It's not so thin that it clings to the body. The combination of material and design gives the coat a workwear-like feel, so I hope you'll enjoy wearing it again and again in all kinds of ways."
