LINEN BANDHANI
TYING EVERYTHING TOGETHER






 DOTS • DOTS • DOTS

“Bandhani” derives from the  Sanskrit term meaning “to tie.” Each circle on this naturally dyed linen is tied by hand. The artisan pinches a tiny portion of the cloth and ties fine knots with cotton thread.  The compressed cloth resists the dye. 

For this clothing, Maiwa opened a collaboration with the bandhani artisans of Rajasthan. Rather than just patterning yardage with dots, each garment was bandhani tied in particular areas - so that there were fields of dots to contrast with plain areas. The tied patterns are different for each garment.

Bandhani is a completely unique way of adding pattern to cloth. Maiwa has combined this distinctive technique with a naturally dyed palette on linen: cutch, pomegranate, and indigo. Natural dyes on linen are our specialty. The tones have a profound character: strong yet with a nuanced depth. They work well alone, in combination with your other clothes, or combined together into ensembles.
