Block-Printing
Block-printing is a centuries-old craft rooted in the rich textile traditions of India. Each block is patiently carved, then pressed into cloth with careful intention, an act that requires time, steadiness, and devotion. The process is slow, almost meditative, and every print bears the subtle variations that mark the hand of its maker. In these patterns, history lingers; a living heritage where precision and imperfection entwine, giving fabric a soul that no machine could ever replicate.
Carving the blocks
Every print begins with a block. Skilled artisans carve intricate motifs into teak or sheesham wood, chiseling details by hand to create tools that will be used for years, sometimes generations.
Stamping the pattern
The block is dipped in natural dye and pressed firmly onto cloth. With each measured impression, the design slowly emerges - rhythmic, precise, and alive with human touch.
Building the design
Layer by layer, motifs, borders, and colors are added, requiring perfect alignment and patience. The result is a textile that carries both tradition and individuality, no two pieces ever exactly the same.
