HANDBLOCK PRINT

Originated centuries ago in Rajasthan and Gujarat, where natural dyes met carved wooden blocks.

Features

Hand block printing is one of India’s most treasured textile arts, with roots stretching back centuries. Using hand-carved wooden blocks inspired by nature and culture, artisans dip them in natural dyes and press onto soft fabrics with patience and precision. Each motif tells a story, carrying the warmth of human touch. This craft not only preserves an ancient tradition but also empowers village women—helping them use their skills, gain independence, and support their families. Every drape reflects heritage, artistry, and the resilience of those keeping this legacy alive.
