The conventional process of hand block printing on textiles and papers, with beautiful natural colors, has been practiced in for around 2000 years although it didn't reach Indian until 15th century. According to Wikipedia the traces of wood block printing (or block printing) were first found in China which go back to 7th century. It remained the most common East Asian technique of printing until the 19th century.

Recently, we visited our printing unit in Chennai. This is the unit where we make our hand block printed fabrics. Our expert hand block printers are very keen on working with new motifs and colors all the time.

Let's welcome the new season with new fabrics. Eye popping, peppy colors or solid color fabrics, a collection of dyeable pure linen or a linen blend...now choose what works for your living room.

This year was an eventful one! We achieved many things and discovered some great friends in you. We participated in a handmade market last year in Chennai almost same time as this year and we received so much love from unknown visitors from India and abroad.
