In Rajasthan, India, women's bright saris stand out against the muted colors of the desert landscape, competing only with the brilliance of the setting sun. These hues are the inspiration for a traditional bandhini scarf, a type of tie dye that has been practiced in India since at least the 6th century. Silk fabric is pleated, squeezed, and stitched at intervals, then hand-dyed. When the fabric dries, the stitches are removed, leaving unique patterns in the crinkled fabric and ensuring that no two scarves are exactly alike. Finished with hand-knotted shuttle lace trim.
