Designed in a relaxed one-size silhouette, it offers an exquisite fluid drape with a soft, elevated touch. Easy to throw on, it can be worn as a kaftan dress or layered over jeans for versatile styling. Finished with a V-neckline, above-elbow cuff sleeves and side slits for ease of movement, each kaftan is individually clamped and hand-dyed, creating subtle variations in colour and pattern that make every piece unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStory Behind the Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-l12aexur\" class=\"N8MGzv _v6ohL AWXfZq PO9MfV comp-l12aexur wixui-rich-text\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eBandhani, a 1,500-year-old resist-dye technique emerging from the mists of history, is translated into a futuristic aesthetic. From minuscule pinpricks to maximal polka dots, we engineer concentrations of bandhani against negative space to create striking visual rhythm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eReminiscent of a code, every dot bears the imprint of its maker. Each pinch of fabric is individually wrapped in thread while held between the artisan's fingers to resist the dye - an extraordinarily labour-intensive process in which no two pieces are ever identical.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-l12aexux\" class=\"N8MGzv _v6ohL AWXfZq PO9MfV comp-l12aexux wixui-rich-text\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eCrafted by two groups of women, the collection bridges inherited knowledge and contemporary practice. Our first partners work in the desert villages of far western India, where bandhani has been passed from mother to daughter over generations, specialising in fine pinprick bandhani that represents the highest level of technical skill in the craft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eOur second partners, migrant women on the outskirts of Delhi, have learned the technique more recently and specialise in our bold, large-scale designs. Together, they connect the humble origins of bandhani with an ultra-modern aesthetic—a testament to the enduring relevance of handmade design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jumeirah Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62970724057169,"sku":null,"price":975.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/4845\/3969\/files\/Kaf-ba-3-4.jpg?v=1792172166","url":"https:\/\/jumeirahroad.com\/products\/itajime-silk-bandhni-kaftan-purple","provider":"J R Ethical Fashion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
