Textile Story

The Itajime Silk Collection is handcrafted in the workshop of two of India's foremost Master Craftsmen, Jabbar and Abdullah Khatri, in Bhuj, Gujarat.

Shibori is a 1,300-year-old Japanese tie-and-dye technique involving the folding and clamping of fabric before dyeing. Itajime is a form of shibori that uses wooden pieces clamped around folded fabric sections to resist dye and create defined shapes.

Each three-metre fabric section is individually folded, clamped, tied, and dyed multiple times to build layers of colour. This time-consuming, precise process creates bold geometric results.

As every piece is individually clamped and dyed, slight variations in color and pattern may occur, making each scarf distinctive.
