Intricate Origami Silk Itajime Box Top for women, fashioned from habutai silk dyed using the itajime shibori process. Angular lines in warm sand trace across the ink-black surface, breaking it into a jagged, web-like pattern that reads bold from a distance and intricate up close. With V-neckline, the loose, boxy body falls from dropped shoulders with box sleeves, finished with short side slits that add ease to the wide-cut silhouette these are details that set this silk blouse for women apart. Pair it with tailored trousers or a flowing skirt for a piece that carries genuine artisanal character within sustainable women's fashion.

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.
