Copper and black in the language of shibori — intricate, precise, quietly dramatic. The ancient resist-dyeing technique reveals its geometry slowly: cluster by cluster, fold by fold, a pattern emerges that no two dyeing sessions can exactly repeat. On copper, this depth is extraordinary.
Hand-crafted in Nha Xa, a village in northern Vietnam where artisan silk traditions have been preserved for more than 800 years. The shibori process begins long before the silk meets the dye: the fabric is bound, folded, or clamped with intention, and the pattern is revealed only when the bindings are undone. It is a technique that demands patience and rewards it with singular beauty.
Woven from 100% pure mulberry habotai silk — featherlight, naturally lustrous, and ideal for shibori work, which relies on the silk's ability to absorb rich, complex colour.

About Silk Habotai
Woven for centuries in Vietnam’s silk villages of Nha Xa and Van Phuc, habotai — “soft as down” — is prized for its featherlight drape and luminous sheen. Each Silk & Bears scarf is hand-dyed by artisans using traditional techniques, so no two pieces are ever identical.
Perfect, I can't add anything else.
