Hand Block Printed Fabric

Buying fabric lets you design exactly what you want. Our running fabrics are printed by hand in Jaipur and sold in 10 metre lengths per design, enough for several garments.

Choose modal silk for a soft drape and a gentle sheen, or cotton for breathable everyday wear.

How to care for it

• Wash in cold water with a mild detergent, separately for the first two or three washes.
• Do not soak for long or use bleach.
• Dry in the shade; strong sun fades hand printed colours over time.
• Iron on medium heat, from the reverse side for darker prints.

Small variations in colour and alignment are natural in hand block printing. They show the piece was made by hand, and no two are exactly the same.
