Textile Story
Bandhani derives from the Sanskrit word, banda, meaning "to tie" and developed during the Indus River Civilisation. The typical bandhani style of concentrations of small dots that we are familiar with today dates back to the 6th century AD where evidence of this style was found in the Ajanta caves.
Our bandhani craftswomen in Bhuj, Gujarat, are repositories of this ancient skill, which involves taking the minutest pinch of fabric between two fingers and wrapping thread around the pinched cloth.
This laborious process is repeated across the surface of the fabric, which is then dyed. Areas under the thread resist the dye, and upon opening, reveal a complex of tiny dots. The smaller the bandhani, the more skilled the craftswoman.
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.
