every horizontal and vertical line is individually hand printed with linear blocks in different widths.

please wash in the machine up to 30° and a delicate detergent, tumble only lightly, take the piece out very damp, stretch and hang to dry.

this cushion cover is hand block printed with hand carved wooden blocks. depending on the complexity and colorways of the print, each color requires its own block. during the printing process it is layered on top of one another on five meter long printing tables and length of pre-washed and conditioned runs of cotton cloth in different counts and thicknesses, depending on the product.- when pigments start to accumulate in the carvings of the seasoned, teak blocks, they need to be re-carved and renewed in order not to lose the crispness of the design.

block printing is an ancient craft, not easily sustainable today, for it requires master craftsmen who are dedicated and passionate about their work- its a hugely skilled and labor intensive, manual process. In airy big printing halls the fabrics are printed and under the same roof stitched after my design and specifications. In jaipur, rajasthan, india, my hub and second home and one of the most creative and productive places for the making of textiles and crafts.

because of the intrinsic and handmade nature of my products, please allow little irregularities, slight overlaps in lines, slight variation in shades- this belongs to and makes these items exude its special charm.
