Q: What is Shibori? A: Shibori is a resist-dyeing tradition in which fabric is folded, twisted, pleated, stitched, or bound before dyeing. The tied areas resist the colour, creating distinctive patterns when the bindings are removed. Q: Are all Shibori sarees hand-dyed? A: This collection includes hand-dyed Shibori as well as Shibori-inspired resist and tie-dye print designs. Each product title and details identify the method used for that saree. Q: Why is every Shibori pattern different? A: On hand-dyed Shibori, the folds, bindings, and dye movement create natural variation, so no two patterns develop in exactly the same way. This individuality is a signature of the process. Q: Why do some designs have soft or irregular edges? A: The colour spreads around folds and tied areas during dyeing, producing organic lines and tonal shifts. These are part of the Shibori look, not flaws. Q: How should I care for a Shibori saree? A: Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent and dry in shade. Wash separately for the first few washes, avoid long soaking and bleach, and do not dry in harsh direct sunlight. Q: What fabric is used for these Shibori sarees? A: The collection is primarily cotton Shibori. Each saree's product details list its exact fabric, weave, and any zari or border detail.
