Huemane

Made to order & small batch clothing created with natural fibers and dyed with plant colors.

Huemane was founded by Jaqueline Kyoda as a response to the environmental and social impacts of fast fashion. From a starting practice in natural dyes with Graham Keegan in Los Angeles, and Celine Amman in Switzerland, and a background in Fine Arts, Jaqueline became  a home-based natural dyer and self-taught garment maker. Inspired by northern California’s Fibershed, she discovered new approaches in clothing production centered on bioregional fiber and color, connecting with local ecology, and supporting small producers.  Jaqueline is part of the collective effort in expanding the SocalFibershed and creating collections with natural fiber and color from different parts of the world.

Jaqueline was born in Los Angeles, but raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil where her mother is from and Okinawa, Japan, where her father is from. After completing high school, she returned to Southern California. Jaqueline continues to seek meaningful ways to contribute to solutions for climate, land, and communities.
