From ancient Japan to Florence: the special dyeing technique of the Contrasto line

Since its launch, the Contrasto line of Bamboo Scarves has earned a special place in the hearts of thousands of people.
At the origin of this success are the truly exciting, and ever-changing alchemies of color imprinted on the fine bamboo yarn. Immersing it in abstract patterns with an irresistible impact: visual and tactile.
But what are the processes that make it possible to achieve such masterpieces?

Once again, the secret must be sought in a special processing technique that characterizes and makes the Contrast line absolutely unique. And that despite being made a few kilometers from Florence, in the heart of Tuscany like all the other activities of the extra-short Innbamboo supply chain, has its roots in a country with remote and exotic magic.

The technique in question, consisting of a very particular dyeing operation, is called Shibori. And as is easy to guess from the name, it was invented and refined over the centuries in Japan.

From this country so rich in fascination, it has then expanded around the world. Finding in the artisanal vocation of the Innbamboo production method, an innovative declination opportunity.

In the dyeing workshop that is one of Innbamboo's selected partners, the Shibori technique is in fact applied with an entirely peculiar artisanal sensibility. By resorting, as for all other activities carried out in the facility, to the exclusive use of materials of excellent quality, possessing the most advanced certifications in the field of sustainability. And by adopting processing methods important to the most drastic reduction of consumption and waste.

It is in this context that the bewitching chromatic and graphic patterns of the Contrasto line come to life, through thedirect application of intense and vividcolors, so vivid as to seem almost sculptural, on previously folded and bound portions of fabric.

A fundamental detail, because it is precisely depending on the degree of pressure and positioning of the fabric at the time of folding, that each individual application of color returns a unique and no longer replicable result.

A result that, application after application, tells with ever new and dreamy expressions the way the contrast between color and material takes shape and textile substance. Ideally inviting to travel with the imagination, to find in the decorative suggestions of the foulards of the Contrasto line endless hints of suggestion.

Soft embraces vibrant with color and emotion. In which to wrap oneself, letting oneself be caressed by an outfit distinguished by unique characteristics. Special and unrepeatable just like our personalities.
