Bandhani Tie Dye Cushion Cover

Our Bandhani cushion cover uses one of India’s oldest tie-dye crafts, practised in Kutch, Jamnagar and Rajasthan. Artisans, often with a long fingernail or a small metal ring, pinch tiny points of cloth and bind each with thread before dyeing. When the ties are removed, each point leaves a small undyed dot, and thousands of dots together form patterns.

Classic Bandhani designs include ekdali single dots, star-like clusters, waves and the chandrakhani moon motif, typically in white or yellow dots on red, maroon, green or indigo. The fabric keeps a slightly crinkled texture from the tying, which we preserve by finishing gently. Covers are lined and zipped.

Specifications

Typical Buyers

Bandhani cushions are bought by festive and wedding decor buyers, Indian diaspora stores, craft and museum shops, and maximalist homeware brands. The red and white combination is iconic, but indigo with white dots is the easiest to place in Western interiors. Pair with plain cotton covers in the same base colour.

Export Supply and Freight

Each piece is checked for dot clarity, colour depth and lining, and the crinkle is preserved by pressing lightly. Covers are folded with tissue and poly-bagged. Orders of the Bandhani tie dye cushion cover ship via Mundra or Nhava Sheva on ex-factory, FOB, CFR or CIF terms.
