In the workshop

Mud, indigo and a day of sun.

Our workshop on Sanganer Road has six printing tables, two indigo vats sunk into the floor and a long drying field behind. The blocks are carved in teak by a carver two lanes away. Most pieces take a week or more from table to dispatch.

Reviews

What customers say

Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.

The kurta fabric smells faintly of earth when it arrives. After six washes the blue is still deep and the leaves are softer.

We did the workshop session as a family. Printing our own stole and pulling it out green, then watching it turn blue, was something the children talk about.

I bought the razai for my mother. It is light and warm, and she says it is exactly like the one she had in Jaipur as a girl.

Questions

Before you order

Answers to what customers ask us most. More on the questions page.

Will the indigo bleed?

A little on the first two washes, which is why we wash every piece twice before dispatch. Wash it alone in cold water the first few times.

Why are there small marks and breaks in the print?

Each block is placed by hand, so joins and small breaks happen. They are part of hand printing, and we describe any larger flaws on the product page.

Can I order a custom length or colour?

Yes, for 20 metres and above. Custom dabu prints take about three weeks; we send a printed swatch first for ₹250.

Do you ship outside India?

Yes, to most countries by courier in 7–12 days. Shipping is shown at checkout.
