Shibori Tie and Dye Sarees, Kaftans & Dresses

Buy a Shibori saree and you are buying the only one of its kind. No two ever turn out the same. The fabric is folded or twisted and bound by hand before it goes into the dye, so the pattern forms on its own instead of being drawn or printed on. Our Shibori sarees collection is the part of the Rang De Shibori edit and is built around this technique across handwoven Matka silk, Bandhej modal silk, and a few linen options. The same tie and dye technique carries over into our kaftans, which makes for an easy and relaxed way to wear Shibori beyond the saree..

Shibori Silk Sarees vs Shibori Cotton Sarees: Choosing the Right Fabric​

​

1. Matka silk holds dye with a raw, textured finish and gives the saree more structure

2. Bandhej modal silk drapes lighter and suits evening wear better than daytime

3. Shibori cotton sarees and linen breathe more, good for daytime or travel

FAQs

​

Which blouse goes best with a Shibori saree?

Stick to a plain, solid coloured blouse. It lets the tie and dye pattern do the talking. Sleeveless or boat neck and halter cuts work well and both gold and oxidised jewellery pair nicely depending on the shade. The unorthodox interplay of colors in a shibori is the standout fashion trick.

​

Can I wear a Shibori saree without it looking too casual?

Yes. Pick a darker shade in silk, Matka or modal silk both work, and keep the jewellery minimal. Lighter cottons naturally feel more casual, so save those for daytime.

​

How do I store a Shibori saree so the colour does not fade?
Fold it and keep it in a breathable cotton bag, away from sunlight and damp spots. Change the fold every few months so the colour does not wear thin at the same crease each time.

​

Is a Shibori saree worth the price compared to a printed one?

Yes, the pattern comes from hand binding and dyeing, not a machine print, so it takes longer and no two sarees look exactly alike. Uniqueness & skill is what you are paying for.

​

Can I wear a Shibori saree for a full day, like at a wedding function?

​Yes, cotton or linen especially, since they breathe well over long hours. Silk is a bit heavier but still fine for a full day of moving around.
