Informed by a dedication to telling the story of Indian craftsmanship, our products are made by hand one yard at a time,
giving new context to the time-honored techniques of hand block printing, embroidery, and weaving.
Our textiles are printed one yard at a time with hand carved wood blocks by master craftspeople at our partner workshop in Bangalore, India. Using traditional techniques passed down through generations, these artisans translate works of art on paper into dynamic, layered compositions that retain nuances of the handmade.
The Indian tradition of printing on fabric using carved wooden blocks dates back to the 12th century, and the technique has remained largely unchanged since the early Mughal era. To this day, artisans carefully align each block by relying solely on a trained eye.
The wood blocks used in our block printing workshop are hand carved out of teak wood, and each block can be used to print 500-800 yards of fabric. All of the dyes used to create our block printed textiles are hand mixed and GOTS-certified.
