About Us

Welcome to Ananda: Elegance Of Vegetable - Indigo Hand Dyed Shibori.
At Ananda, we are not just creators of exquisite Shibori products; we are craftpeople of nature-inspired elegance. With a profound commitment to the environment and a passion for preserving traditional artistic techniques, we have embarked on a journey to bring you a range of products that resonate with both luxury and sustainability.
Our Story:
Ananda was born from a love for both art and nature. The name itself, meaning 'bliss' in Sanskrit, encapsulates our belief in fi nding joy in the harmony of craftsmanship and ecological consciousness. Rooted in the ancient Japanese art of Shibori, a technique that involves intricate hand-dyeing and folding methods, we have woven our passion for art into every piece we create.
Artistry and Innovation:
At the heart of Ananda lies a deep appreciation for artistry. Our skilled artisans meticulously handcraft each product using time-honored Shibori techniques like Kumo Shibori (Spider Web Shibori) , Itajime Shibori (Shape-Resist Shibori) , Arashi Shibori (Pole-Wrapping Shibori) , Nui Shibori (Stitched Shibori) , Miura Shibori (Looped Bindings) , Karamatsu Shibori (Larch Needle Shibori) , Mokume Shibori (Wood Grain Shibori) , Suji Shibori (Banded Shibori) , Ne-maki Shibori (Root-Tie Shibori) , Yanagi Shibori (Willow Shibori) , Boshi Shibori (Capped Shibori), resulting in a unique blend of texture, pattern, and color. Every piece is a testament to the fusion of traditional art with contemporary design, breathing life into everyday items.
Natural Vegetable Dyes:
We take pride in our commitment to using 100% natural vegetable dyes like Harada , Indigo , Lac , Madder , Merigold + Tesu and Kashish. These dyes not only infuse our products with rich, earthy hues but also refl ect our dedication to sustainable practices. By harnessing the power of nature's colors, we minimize our ecological footprint while creating products that radiate authenticity.
Sustainability as a Lifestyle:
For us, sustainability is not just a trend; it's a way of life. We are driven by the desire to off er you products that align with your values.
