The wave like pattern is created through applying a hand-tied stitch-resist technique known as bandhani in India and shibori in Japan. After the fabric is all stitched and bound tightly, it is then dipped in natural indigo, oxidized, then dipped again. The fabric is dipped and oxidized a few times to achieve the depth of shade, before it is unbound and the incredible pattern revealed.

The result is a deep, rich indigo coloured design floating on a light background.

This fabric is handstitched by the bandhani artisans of Bagru, a group that lives and works alongside the dabu blockprinters.

Sold by the metre ~ width is 115cm (45").

Fiber: 100% Medium Weight Organic Cotton.

*Important: This textile is dyed with natural indigo. Indigo is a friendly dye, it wants to share its colour. You may expect some colour to rub off on your skin or other clothing for a while. We recommend you wash this fabric separately with a pH neutral soap.

Care Instructions: This fabric is pre-shrunk and easy to take care of - a gentle machine or hand wash is recommended with cool water and pH neutral bio-degradable liquid soap. Immediately either hang to dry or tumble dry on medium heat.

Process: Hand tied/ stitch resisted (bandhani or shibori), and naturally dyed with indigo by master craftspeople in Rajasthan, India.

Note: Colours will appear different on different monitors and in different lighting conditions.

All fabrics sold by the metre are final sale.
