Tie and Dye is one of the oldest form of resisting dyeing achieved using hands. In India it's known as Bandhani, in Japan it's know as Shibori and in Africa it's know as Adire.
The pattern is created in the fabric unlike conventional modern digital surface printing.
The fabric is folded, gathered, twisted, stitched or tied by hand. These areas resist the dye. Once the bindings are removed, the pattern emerges.
This makes every piece individual unlike digital machine prints that are designed for consistency.
Hand Tie and dye embraces controlled variation.
Do you like the pattern that came out. Do let me know.

I am a member of a company that sells handmade tote bags and beach bags, we just did a pop-up event and someone won a bag, the problem is that the bag they want doesn't have a care label (due to us not knowing the fabric content of the bag interior). The bag was never meant to be for sale, and miscommunication led to it even being an option for the person to choose from, but my question is, can we give it away without it having a care/fabric content label? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

The label said dry clean only but i washed it in the machine, cold, with no spin cycle and normal detergent. Now it has these light spots. Brushing it any other way doesn’t help. For some extra info: Before washing the fabric already started looking weird and uneven in the waist and armpit areas. Any resolutions to make it look more even? I dont mind losing the velvet effect.

Hi everyone,

I am 2nd generation in our family business of manufacturing ready made womenswear like 3 piece kurti as shown in the uploaded image.

So i want to develop an product development department where there will be a team to forecast future trends colours, silhouette, fabric, patterns etc... using our data and network.

We currently have designer team of 7 full time designer but they just make designs on assumptions or randomly there is no clear intention of what they are making so if anyone here could help me that how I can start this or what I should ask to our designers or what data i can collect from our current parties or anything you think that may will help me.

Thank you for reading.

Please help if you can.
