Shibori Bags

Shibori (絞り) is an ancient Japanese dyeing technique with a history dating back to the Nara period in the 8th century, which flourished during the Edo period due to the demand for everyday clothing. At its core, Shibori involves physical resist-dyeing methods such as binding, stitching, folding, and clamping to create unique textures and gradient effects on fabric, resulting in a poetic beauty reminiscent of ink wash painting. The charm of Shibori lies in its "unrepeatable serendipity." Even when the same technique is used, variations in fabric tension and dye penetration ensure that each pattern is one-of-a-kind.
