Each design is inspired by a mesmerizing city around the world, consists of multiple unique intricate patterns that capture the nuances and vibrant energy of the city, with cues from the nature, traditional ethnic patterns, gorgeous locales, and iconic architectures.

What is Block-printing?

Block-printing is an ancient artistic technique that dates back to early 220 A.D.! The art began in China where monks share the personal stories of their lives and culture via hand-printing on clothes. Over time the technique travelled to India, where it became an intricate medium for storytelling and preserving cultural beliefs, and a way for families to pass on their “story” to the next generation.

The art of block-printing goes through many skilled artisan hands. A hand-drawn sketch of the meticulously designed pattern is traced onto wood and hand-carved to create the perfect block, which takes around 5-7 days of detailed craftsmanship. Many individual blocks are used to create one design.

Ethical Artisan Craftsmanship

Each item is block-printed by the hands of the talented and dedicated craftsmen. It takes great skills and precision to create these gorgeous prints - making a perfect print each time with steady nimble hands, printing onto the right spot to create continuous patterns, carefully layering the colors to create a stereoscopic design. The element of human touch means each piece is always unique. After the block-printing is done, they are finished with careful hand-stitching.

The factory where our beddings are created had been carefully chosen. It is owned by women and the finest craftsmen preserving the art of block-printing have been employed for many many years, they are being paid fairly and working in good conditions.
