Hand Block Print QUALITY

[Charm of hand block printing]

Indian hand block prints are a fusion of unique beauty and the warmth of handiwork. We will introduce you to its features and handling.

Features and manufacturing process:

Hand block printing is a handmade art that is different from screen printing. Hand-carved woodblocks are used by craftsmen, and natural materials derived from plants and minerals are carefully selected for dyeing. The fabric has a unique beauty that fades, allowing you to enjoy aging. The fabric is made through six to seven careful steps, which make the cotton supple, wrinkle-resistant, and quick-drying.

Diversity of patterns and woodblocks:

The woodblocks for hand blocks are infinite, and it is impossible to predict what pattern the craftsman will create next. Even if the pattern is the same, there are variations in color, and each piece has a once-in-a-lifetime beauty.

[Characteristics of Bagru fabric and dyeing culture]

The fabric that was born in Bagroo, a village on the outskirts of Jaipur, is a block print that represents India and is also called "Bagroo print." It is especially famous for producing vegetable dyes using natural dyes.
Its charm is maintained through old-fashioned mordant and printing methods. In particular, items made with indigo tend to fade quickly, but no special color fading treatment is performed locally, pursuing the natural beauty.

We hope that you will understand Bagroo's fabrics, including this specificity. Sticking to traditional styles is part of preserving the culture of dyeing. First-time users may be surprised by its fastness, but this is the essence of traditional Indian dyeing. We hope you enjoy the color fading and the harmony with the fabric.

[Sanganer print fabric]

Europeanist hand block printing is popular in the Sanganer area, which is a little far from Jaipur city. This printing technique has a history of over 400 years and was created for royalty. In modern times, printing techniques using chemical dyes have become mainstream, and approximately 2,000 workshops produce printed fabrics with various designs. While inheriting tradition, the Sanganer region has adapted to the changing times and has earned high praise both domestically and internationally.

Handling precautions:

You can prevent the dye from fading by using a neutral detergent and drying it in the shade. The color may fade at first, but it will fade over time. The product may have misalignment of the printing plate, color gaps, or smudges. This is the essence of hand block printing.
