ibBan: hand-embroidered boho fashion since 1982

ibBan is a women's clothing label built around hand embroidery. Founded in 1982 by Mohammad Bawri, who remains founder and creative director, the brand describes itself as an Indian-born project conceived to dress women internationally. Its pieces are made in an atelier in India and dispatched from Madrid, where the company also lists its contact address.

The house positions itself at the meeting point of craftsmanship and wearability: natural materials, silhouettes it describes as timeless, and a boho aesthetic that draws on travel, art and nature. The company states that every garment starts as plain cloth and a drawing, and that embroidery — mirror work, beadwork and thread — is worked by hand, so that no two pieces are identical.

Hand embroidery as the core of production

According to the brand, a single dress can take days to complete because the decorative work is done manually rather than machine-stamped. This applies across the range, from long and short dresses to tunics, jackets, gilets and coats. The company frames the result as "wearable art" and stresses that the same craft has been maintained for more than four decades.

The collections on offer

The catalogue is organised by garment type and by season. The current seasonal lines shown are Autumn Winter 2027 and Summer Collection 2026, alongside a Holiday selection, swimwear and a girls' collection.

• Long and short dresses, including models such as Inshi, Efnan, Nazi, Zayra, Zoya, Mayra, Kori and Rowan

• Jackets, gilets and long coats

Fabrics named in the listings include cotton, cotton lace, viscose georgette, cotton velvet, viscose knit, cotton lurex and printed cotton. Many models are offered in several colourways, among them black, navy, burgundy, green, beige, aqua, denim, pink, white and turquoise.

Fit, sizing and product information

ibBan states that its garments are cut in one size with a generous fit, designed to be worn for years rather than for a single season. Individual product pages carry customer ratings, with several models showing between four and eight reviews at the time of writing this profile. Prices are displayed in US dollars on the version of the site reviewed, with discounts shown on selected items.

Dispatch, returns and wholesale

Orders placed before 4pm Madrid time are dispatched the same day, Monday to Friday, according to the brand. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery, with the full conditions set out on the company's returns page. The site also maintains a wholesale section and lists accepted payment methods including American Express, Apple Pay, Bancontact, Bizum, BLIK, Google Pay, Klarna, Maestro, Mastercard, MB WAY, MobilePay, PayPal, Shop Pay, Union Pay and Visa.

The founder and the brand's lineage

Mohammad Bawri started the company at 22 while studying fashion design alongside political science. The brand presents itself as a family business in which the founder still oversees the India factory, the collections, marketing and brand image. Its stated reference figure is a woman who travels, values freedom and refuses to separate beauty from comfort — a positioning the company has maintained since its founding.
