Where Skill Meets Spontaneity

Tie-dye may evoke the bold spirit of the 1970s, but its roots run deep in Indian textile heritage. At its core, tie-dye is a resist-dyeing technique—fabric is tightly bound so dye can't reach certain areas, creating striking patterns once the ties are removed.

For pieces like the Anandini Jacket and Deepti Overalls, the design may seem spontaneous, but it's anything but random. The process begins by laying out three yards of fabric on the floor. The artisans then gather and fold the cloth in a careful, deliberate way, forming a compact disc. Strong thread is tightly wound around the bundle in a precise pattern. Once dyed and dried, the ties are removed, and the fabric is opened to reveal a stunning design.

The pattern appears almost accidental—but it's the result of skill, repetition, and deep familiarity with the medium. Each piece reflects both intention and intuition.
