These fabrics have been printed using a traditional hand block print technique. Wooden blocks are hand carved to form the pattern and hand stamped onto the fabric with dye. A print is often the result of layers of different blocks, requiring time, skill and extreme precision. We work with the best block printers in Rajasthan such as Anokhi, with an emphasis on printing using only natural dyes.

Original resist and hand block print patterns created by the master Ajrakh printer, Sufiyan Khatri, in Kutch, Gujrat. Ajrakh prints only use natural plant based dyes and are usually inspired by geometrical patterns and nature.
