Block Print Cotton

Beige/brown

Made with a block print technique, in this ancient textile tradition artisans used hand-carved wooden blocks to stamp intricate patterns repetitively onto the fabric. Centered mostly in Rajasthan and Gujarat, this highly precise craft utilizes natural dyes, resist-paste methods, and multi-generational techniques to produce unique, slow-made textiles.
