Jaipuri Hand Block Printed Skirts

The Jaipuri kali skirt is a Rajasthani classic: panels of printed cotton stitched together for a wide, swirling flare. Ours are printed by hand, mostly in Bagru designs, with indigo styles too.

Fine 60x60 cotton keeps them light despite all that fabric.

What is a kali skirt?

A kali skirt is made from many triangular panels called kalis. More kalis mean a fuller flare; our 28-kali skirts swirl beautifully when you turn.

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.
