The process begins with planning and tying the garment to create a design. Sections are then carefully bleached using controlled techniques, requiring protective gear and precise timing to achieve the desired contrast. After the color is removed, the fabric is fully neutralized and washed to stop the reaction and stabilize the material.
Once prepared, dye is applied back into the lightened areas to build depth and layered patterns. Because each stage is done by hand and takes time to complete, every piece develops differently—resulting in a one-of-a-kind finished design.
