The Art of Hand Block Printing:

Each dress is a masterpiece of Indian textile artistry, made using the ancient hand block printing technique passed down through generations in Rajasthan and other parts of India.

  • Wooden hand-carved blocks are dipped in natural or AZO-free dyes
  • Artisans manually stamp each motif, giving the dress a unique character
  • Slight variations are a mark of authenticity, celebrating the handcrafted process

This isn’t just fashion — it’s living art, proudly worn.

Fabric & Feel: 100% Pure Cotton

Crafted in 100% pure, breathable cotton, this dress is built for comfort and durability. The soft, natural fabric drapes gracefully, feels airy against the skin, and makes this piece ideal for warm weather, tropical vacations, and humid climates.
