What makes a tie and dye saree Tie and dye is known as bandhani in India and shibori in Japan. The fabric is tied or bound in different ways before dyeing, which creates detailed, colourful designs. The technique has been practised for centuries in many cultures, and the patterns it gives are distinct and easy to recognise.
