Indian Block Print - Centuries of Craftsmanship

Block printing is a technique that requires the highest standards of craftsmanship and creativity to create beautiful, unique patterns and designs.

Printing patterns on textiles likely originated in China. However, using meticulously carved wooden blocks to create patterns on textiles is an artform that has since been elevated by artisans in India. The wood block printing process is done by hand and eye, coupled with traditional designs and the individual artisans' inspirations in modern patterns, to create beautiful, timeless textiles. Imperfections are the beauty of the craft - every single piece of a block print textile is a unique piece of art.

Indian cotton is known to be very soft and lightweight, making it extra comfy in the summer or tropical weather. Combining Indian cotton with the wood block printing technique creates one-of-a-kind handcrafted textiles that are both functional and beautiful. 

We are proud to curate beautiful block print sarongs and apparel, which all gets softer with every wash - the unique characteristic of Indian cotton - with excellent patterns, highly skilled cutting and beautiful designs, to ensure that you are buying high-quality block print apparel that will last for years.
