Our Indus silk scarf is inspired by the reflection of the moon on choppy waters – moonbeams glinting off the infinite mirror-like facets of the small waves and ripples.
The Mokume Shibori Technique: This silk scarf is created using the mokume (wood grain) shibori technique. In the mokume technique, the fabric is hand-stitched with countless parallel lines to create a beautiful texture that resembles sand patterns or tree bark. For this scarf, we use the mokume technique across the entire width of the fabric.
The Art of Shibori: Shibori is a manual resist-dyeing technique used in many cultures worldwide to create imaginative textures and multihued tones. It shapes, compresses, and secures fabric before dyeing, giving it three-dimensional form through folding, crumpling, stitching, plaiting, or plucking and twisting. Shibori celebrates the fabric's pliancy and its potential for creating shape-resisted designs.
Each Scarf is Unique: Our shibori silk scarves are hand-dyed in small batches using traditional shibori techniques at our dyeing studio in Jaipur, India. Since the process is handcrafted and dynamic, each scarf is wonderfully one-of-a-kind.
