Chunri

A collection inspired by the South Asian ancient craft of Tie and Dye 

Scholars believe that the first evidence of Chunri or Bandhani in South Asia can be seen in a sixth-century cave painting depicting the life of the Buddha in the Ajanta murals. The Chunri technique was originally practiced by the Khatri community in Sindh and subsequently gained popularity among artisans of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

Creating Chunri patterns involves intricate and time-honored techniques. Skilled artisans first fold or twist the fabric or tie tiny portions of the fabric with a thread. They then dip the fabric in different dyes, after the dye is completely dried, the knots are unwound to expose striking dotted designs and geometric patterns.. The craftsmanship and dedication involved in this process are evident in the stunning patterns that adorn Chunri
