One of our artisans printing cotton by hand — the block is inked, placed by eye and struck with the heel of the palm, once for every repeat across the length of the cloth.
Every block starts as a slab of seasoned teak, carved by a karigar whose family has cut patterns for generations. Pressed by hand, no two repeats land exactly alike — a slight drift of ink, a breath of overlap.
That drift is the point. It is the difference between a print that was made and a print that was manufactured — and it is why a buyer can spot one of our pieces across a showroom.
