Collection: Shibori

What Is Shibori?

Here's an easy Shibori definition: Shibori is an ancient Japanese manual resist dyeing technique, which produces patterns on fabric. 

We love this question because we love Shibori! Tie-dye has existed for over two thousand years, and is known all over the world by different names: Shibori in Japan, Bandhani or Leheriya in India,Plangi or Tritic in Indonesia-Malaysia,Adire in Nigeria, Amarra in Peru, and Zha ran in China. Another way we define Shibori is “It’s fancy tie dye” because it really is. People’s eyes light up when they hear that.Generations are familiar with tie dye or have done it in an art class. We love to create elegant, timeless Shibori for our collection Modern Shibori.
