Sanganer & Bagru, Jaipur

Five hundred years, one motif at a time

In the lanes of Sanganer, carved wooden blocks have kissed cotton for over five hundred years. Our block prints are printed by hand — which is why no two pieces are ever identical. That is not a flaw of the handmade. It is its signature.

The print run

How a piece is made

  1. Fabric

    Cotton is sourced, washed and pre-shrunk before a single block touches it.

  2. Carving

    The motif is cut into a teak block by hand. One block, one colour.

  3. Printing

    Each impression is placed by hand, one motif at a time, across the length of the fabric.

  4. Dyeing

    Plant-based and mineral dyes, gentle on skin and kind to the earth.

  5. Cutting

    Patterns are graded per size — plus sizes drafted separately, not scaled.

  6. Stitching

    In our own 30-machine unit in Sanganer, Jaipur.

  7. Checking

    3 stages: fabric, stitching, final pack. Defect rate under 3%.

  8. Packing

    Folded, tagged and dispatched — usually within 2–3 working days.
