Prepare the Cotton
Our cotton comes from South India and before its printed is thoroughly washed to remove starch and oils, allowing the fibres to fully receive the pigment.
Hand Block Print
Using hand-carved wooden blocks, artisans print each colour by hand. Every layer of the design requires a different block, applied slowly, one impression at a time. The print often comes alive only with the final block, when the full pattern is revealed.
Sun-Dry & Cure
The printed fabric is laid in the sun to dry and naturally cure, helping the pigment bond to the cotton.
Wash & Soften
The fabric is gently washed to remove excess pigment and reveal its final tone and soft hand feel.
Cut & Make
The fabric is hung to dry and inspected, the fabric is then cut and sewn into finished garments.
