Blockprint
Sumaavi brings to you the hidden treasures from India's rich textile legacy so you can experience the culture firsthand. We are thrilled to expand our collection of intricate Indian handicraft, and we are excited to introduce you to our brand-new fabric pattern, hand block printing. Indians were among the world's forerunners in the field of innovation. The art of dyeing and printing is rooted in many traditions across the nation. The centuries-old tradition of hand block printing is practised in some parts of Rajasthan. Each cluster adheres to its unique processes and style; the use of distinctive and meaningful motifs is enhanced by colours obtained from mother nature. The hardworking process results in phenomenal designs in opulent and exotic hues. In hand block printing, patterns and designs are manually printed on fabrics using wooden or metal blocks. Traditional, unchanged patterns have been passed down through the centuries. The motifs are chosen for their beauty in nature, and they are then carved onto wooden blocks. Each wooden block has an unrivalled design thanks to the artists' careful and thorough crafting. The craft speaks of skills and years of experience as the craftsmen swiftly pattern the clothes. The soul of this incomparable craft rests safely in the hands of the craftsmen and is carried forward by the talented artisans and our team.
