A centuries-old Japanese dyeing technique that’s all about twisting, folding, and binding fabric before dipping it into dye. The result? Organic, one-of-a-kind patterns that never quite repeat. While Shibori has its roots in Japan, India has embraced it in its own way, blending it seamlessly with local textiles, softer fabrics, and breezier silhouettes. What makes Shibori special is its imperfections, the slight variations, the organic flow of the dye, the way no two pieces ever look exactly alike.

Sufiya has been working with us for years. Every week, she comes to the workshop, picks up the embroidery work, and takes it home. Her daughter has picked up the craft too, learning quietly, watching her mother. It’s women like Sufiya who remind us why we do what we do. Craft no longer is just about the thread; it’s about livelihood, independence, and the quiet strength of those who keep these skills alive. Over the years, we’ve seen more brands embrace handcrafted and ethical production, and while that’s heartening, we still have a long way to go. The value of artisanal work is often overlooked in a world that prioritizes speed over skill. But every stitch, every piece of embroidery, every woman who finds work and dignity in craft brings us a little closer to change. Here’s to Sufiya, her daughter, and the many women like her 🧵✨ #shopsohni #womenartisans #womenartisansofindia #womenempowerment #craftmanship #craftmanshipmatters #indiancrafts #indiancraftstore #heritage #heritageofindia

While Dabka was once limited to heavy, ornate ensembles, today’s designers are reinventing it with a contemporary spin. Lighter, more fluid interpretations are making their way into fusion wear, summer-friendly fabrics like organza and Chanderi, and even modern silhouettes like structured jackets, kaftans, and co-ord sets. From high fashion runways to everyday elegance, Dabka is evolving. Artisans are experimenting with mixed materials, pairing metallic threads with resham embroidery, using matte finishes for a softer look, or even incorporating geometric and abstract patterns instead of just florals. Handmade, detailed, and rooted in legacy, Dabka work continues to be a bridge between heritage and modern fashion. Whether in contemporary cuts or classic heirloom pieces, it remains a celebration of craft & culture ✨ #shopsohni #heritagecraft #craftsofindia #indianartisans #indiancraftsmanship #dabkawork #dabkaembroidery #embroiderersofinstagram

The balcony is sun-kissed, the air smells of soaked earth and fresh beginnings. She leans against the railing, watching the world stretch awake. A soft breeze lifting her dupatta, wrapping around her like an old song. Cotton on skin, light as a whisper, easy, familiar, like home. Somewhere, a kettle whistles. A neighbor sings a tune from another time. She closes her eyes, lets the morning linger just a little longer.
