Tie-dye | Akron in Abstract
Tampoori tie-dye is rooted in West African dyeing traditions and enriched by techniques borrowed from across the world such as Japanese shibori, Indian bandhani, and other resist-dye methods that have shaped the craft for centuries. Each piece is created with deep intention, intricate tying, and thoughtful detailing that honours heritage while embracing contemporary expression.
Every piece is carefully crafted by hand: tied, bound, and dyed through a process that cannot be rushed. We take our time through every stage to achieve rich colours, refined patterns, and exceptional quality. The pattern only reveals itself when the ties come off. After years in the studio, our artisans can still be surprised by what a piece becomes.

Hand-dyed in small batches in Accra by our team of six local women artisans. We work primarily on natural fibers, reclaiming and reusing wax and dye baths where we can. Textile mill offcuts and obroni wawu, secondhand imported fabric, are given a second life with Tampoori color. We're not perfect. But we're honest, and we're trying.

We want you to love your fabric. Here is everything you need to know before you buy.
All sales are final on cut fabric. Because each piece is hand-dyed in small batches, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges on fabric that has been cut, washed, or used.
Uncut fabric. We have a 10-day return policy from date of delivery. Items must be unused and in their original condition with proof of purchase. EU customers have 14 days under the EU cooling off period. If approved, you can choose a refund to your original payment method or store credit. Shipping costs and import duties are non-refundable. Sale items and gift cards cannot be returned.
Colour variation. Our fabrics are hand-dyed by artisans. Natural variation in colour, tone, and texture is part of the process; no two pieces leave the studio looking exactly the same. This is not a defect, it is the nature of the craft. Colour may also appear slightly different on screen depending on your device settings.
Damaged or incorrect orders. Please inspect your order on receipt and contact us immediately if something is wrong so we can make it right.
Not sure about a colour before you buy? WhatsApp us and we will send you photos or a short video in natural light before you commit.
