Sun-Dappled Coral Silk Box Top for women, hand-dyed in habutai silk through the itajime shibori technique, leaving every piece with its own subtle rhythm of colour and pattern. Diamond-shaped patterns trace across the coral surface in deep olive, meeting a solid green border at the hem. Cut generously with dropped shoulders, box sleeves and a soft V-neckline, the loose fit skims the body while retaining a distinctly feminine shape, an excellent find for those seeking silk blouses for women with real artisanal character. Short side slits allow easy movement, rounding out a piece well suited to fans of sustainable fashion, UAE, who want texture and story behind every wear.

Textile Story
Our Itajime Silk Collection has been hand-crafted in the workshop of two of India's foremost Master Craftsmen; Jabbar and Abdullah Khatri in Bhuj, Gujarat.
Shibori is a 1300 year old tie and dye technique developed in Japan involving the folding and clamping or otherwise securing of fabric prior to dyeing. Itajime is one technique of shibori which uses pieces of wood clamped together around sections of folded fabric to resist the dye in particular shapes.
Each three meter section of fabric is individually folded, clamped, tied and dyed; and this repeated several times to get layers of colours. It's a time consuming and exacting technique with bold geometric results.
Any variations or irregularities are to be celebrated. They are part of the design & inherent to the handcrafted production process, making this item beautifully unique.
