Craftsmanship

This garment is hand block printed in collaboration with a family of seventh-generation master printers in Bagru, India. Each stage of the traditional printing process is completed by hand, from carving wooden blocks to printing with Azo-free dyes and finishing the textiles. Natural elements—including mineral-rich water, sunlight, plants, and earth—play an essential role throughout the process, resulting in subtle variations that make every piece one of a kind.

Care Instructions

To preserve the beauty and integrity of the fabric, hand wash in cold water using a pH-neutral soap. Do not bleach. Hang to dry and use a warm iron if needed to smooth wrinkles. For professional cleaning, dry clean using petroleum solvent only. Due to the handcrafted nature of the block printing process, gentle care is recommended to maintain the richness of the colors and the quality of the textile over time.
