Informed by a dedication to telling the story of Indian craftsmanship, our products are made by hand one yard at a time,
giving new context to the time-honored techniques of hand block printing, embroidery, and weaving.
Shibori is a long-established Japanese resist dyeing method in which fabric is tied, bound, pleated, stitched, or wrapped to achieve a broad spectrum of patterns and designs.
Our Soho textile is made by hand at a small workshop in Bangalore using a clamp-resist shibori technique called itajime. In this technique, a swath of fabric is carefully accordion folded into a single length and tightly clamped using shaped wood blocks affixed on either side of the fabric.
The area covered by the blocks remains undyed during the dyeing process, resulting in a beautifully minimal repeating pattern. Due to the nature of this traditional hand dyeing process, our Soho textile can only be produced at a maximum length of five yards.
