Collection: Shibori

Shibori is a manual tie-dyeing technique that creates uneven patterns on textiles. The word "shibori" comes from the Japanese word shiboru, which means "wring" or "squeeze. Shibori uses intricate stitches and combinations of stitches or dextrous ways of folding to achieve its effects, as against tie dye- which simply ties the fabric together using rubber bands or string.

Once dipped in vibrant colors, the fabric unveils stunning geometric or organic designs. Each Shibori fabric is one-of-a-kind, a testament to the artisan's skill and the inherent beauty of imperfections. Silkenthread has exclusive collection of shibori printed sarees in bhagalpuri silk, hand painted traditional kalamkari printed pallu.
