BLOCK PRINT

Block printing is an ancient printmaking technique, dating back to many centuries ago. In it’s essence, block print is all about stamping lengths of fabric using hand-carved wood blocks. It was widely spread in Asia and remains being practiced today, especially in Rajasthan, Jaipur being known as home to the world’s finest printers. In order to create a pattern, its design is first transferred and carved on wooden blocks.

EMBROIDERY

The art of embroidering is intrinsic to human nature, playing an important role in many cultures. Being rooted on sustainable materials and artisanal techniques, we only use biodegradable threads that are transformed into mesmerizing designs through the hands of our partner artisans in India. By choosing to display either hand embroidery or hand-operated machine embroidery, we pay homage to global cultural heritage and help keeping this form of creative expression alive with a modern twist.  

HANDWOVEN COTTON 

Khadi is a term used to describe the finest hand-spun and handwoven cotton in India. It is known as a symbol of resistance, popularized by Mahatma Gandhi who called for a boycott of all British textiles, thus transforming the spinning charkha in a national symbol of freedom.  Till today, this craft remains in full operation and it can be praised as one of the most sustainable fabrics available.
