Description

Khadi fabric is not only Hand woven but even the yarns used for weaving are Hand spun in a charkha (a hand cranked, manual spinning machine). So, when the yarns are hand spun and then it is hand woven then we call it Khadi. Khadi has a rugged texture, comfortable feel and is said to have the unique property of keeping you warm in Winter and cool in Summer. Khadi is organic and has a zero carbon footprint!

Bagru is a hand block print tradition of the Chhipas community; a fifth generation of a family of dyers and printers settled primarily in Bagru, Rajasthan, India. It requires perfect hand -eye coordination and precision. The master printer decides the number of blocks and sequence of printed layers. The block is then cut to size and the carver uses tools to recreate the pattern on the block. Every print is made by hand and visually aligned by the printer. It often requires at least 4 to 5 blocks to print different parts of a pattern. Traditional Bagru prints use dark color on a cream or dyed background.
