Bandhani - The Shape of a Masterpiece — Shaped Resist — Textured Cloth
SHAPED RESIST - CIRCLES IN PLACE
Bandhani is the result of thousands of knots tied on the cloth before it is dyed. Instantly recognizable by the formation of tiny circles, bandhani can be used in a grid, in a circle, or in a series of wandering lines. The same patterning covers cushion covers, bedspreads, and sheets. The result is surprisingly simple yet dynamic bedding.

ABOUT BANDHANI
The name “Bandhani” derives from the Sanskrit term meaning “to tie.” Tied resist is a traditional technique that has been practiced in India for centuries.
Each dot is the result of creating a tiny peak in the cloth and then tightly wrapping thread around the peak to resist the dye. Artisans work with quick precision as they pattern the entire cloth. This same technique is practiced on different scales to give fields of pattern (as seen here), or incredibly fine dots.
Maiwa works directly with bandhani artisans working in both the Kachchh Desert of Gujarat, and in Rajasthan, India.
