Quick answer
Choose the Cami Shibori Fold if you want a one-of-a-kind hand-dyed piece with indigo character, or the Cami Scratchy if you prefer a playful printed cami that layers easily under other clothes.
Print vs. dye: two ways to add personality
The Cami Shibori Fold uses an indigo tie-dye technique that makes every cami unique. The Cami Scratchy features a fun print by artist Greta Menzies that is neither itchy nor scratchy. Your choice comes down to whether you want an artisanal, hand-dyed look or a consistent, repeatable print.
Care considerations for each cami
Because the Cami Shibori Fold is hand-dyed in indigo, it requires separate washing for the first few washes to avoid color transfer. The Cami Scratchy, with its printed design, does not have this restriction and can be washed normally with like colors. If low-maintenance care is important to you, the Scratchy is the more practical option.
Cami Shibori vs Cami Scratchy: trade-offs
- Uniqueness: Cami Shibori Fold is hand-dyed, so no two are exactly alike. Cami Scratchy has a consistent printed pattern.
- Care effort: Cami Shibori Fold requires separate washing for the first few washes. Cami Scratchy can be washed normally.
- Layering fit: Cami Scratchy is cut with shaping and straps placed to cover a standard bra strap, making it ideal for wearing under other garments. Cami Shibori Fold does not specify bra-strap coverage. If you plan to layer, the Cami Scratchy is the more deliberate choice.
