Bandhani Print Fabric

Bandhani fabric at TradeUNO — Bandhani patterns across modal satin at 44 inches and other grounds, sold by the metre and in bulk.

Bandhani is tie-dye in its most precise form: thousands of tiny points are tied off by hand before dyeing, so the dye cannot reach them and each knot leaves a small undyed dot. The fineness of the dots and the evenness of the grid are how you judge quality — and why traditional Bandhani carries the price it does.

Printed Bandhani-effect fabric reproduces the look at a fraction of the cost and is entirely legitimate for volume production; just know which one you are buying.
