Beautiful hand-dyed pieces done by Shabd

Baggu + Shabd collaboration in pretty Spring colors

Made by my friend Kaila, whose lovely work of Shibori dyeing vintage silks, 

linens and cottons can be seen here. 

I love the ethereal nature of these textiles & the more subtle colors I am seeing.  

There are many different methods of Shibori, 

including Kanoko Shibori, or tie-dye as we know it in the West.  

These traditional methods date back to 8th century Japan.
