How Hand Block Printed Sarees Are Made
In hand block printing, the artist first makes a wooden block. The design is engraved on the block, and the carved block is then used to repeat the design on the cotton fabric in vegetable colours or natural dyes. The printing is done by expert printers (karigars). Our cotton sarees come in alluring patterns and latest designs that follow current trends.
Block Printing from Jaipur and Rajasthan
India is famous for its traditional culture, art and craft, and Jaipur is well known for textile printing, handicrafts and traditional art. Hand block printing is an inseparable part of the cultural heritage of Rajasthan. Two types are especially famous: Bagru hand block print and Sanganeri hand block print. Sanganeri block print has been famous for its printing quality for centuries. Bagru is known around the world for natural dyeing, hand block printing, indigo dyeing and mud block printing.
How to Wash a Hand Block Printed Cotton Saree
- Soak it in cold water with a little rock salt for about 15 minutes before the first wash, to help set the natural dyes.
- Use a mild liquid detergent and avoid bleach.
- Dry it inside out in the shade, so sunlight does not fade the colours.
