Our easy-to-wear dresses span relaxed everyday styles to sophisticated occasion wear, produced using handcrafted techniques and modern tailoring, so you can easily transition from workdays to weekends.

Each piece of our timeless ethnic inspired fashion or easy everyday-wearing range is designed to bring you comfort, versatility and handcrafted charm.

How Our Hand-Block-Print Dresses Are Crafted

Every one of our hand block print dresses begins a journey in the skilled hands of our experienced artisans.

Each layer of each design is meticulously hand-stamped on the fabric using hand-carved wooden blocks. This careful process gives rise to minor natural variations that make each garment distinct, reflecting the authenticity of handcrafted textiles.

A hand block print garment is not a mass-produced print but the essence of an artist's trade, the beauty of traditional printing processes handed down through centuries.

The handprint dresses in our collection are a tribute to patience, perfection and the enduring craftsmanship of Indian textile traditions.

Styling Your Cotton Block Print Dress for Every Occasion

One of the most flexible additions to any collection is a nicely designed block print dress.

A few style ideas:

• Pair your outfit with comfortable flats and a tote bag for the everyday workplace look.
• For a traditional hand-crafted look, add oxidised silver jewellery.
• A light jacket or stole is recommended for cooler evenings.
• For a simple holiday look, complement your travel goods with minimal accessories and comfortable sandals.

Indian hand block print dresses are exquisite, and suit both informal and formal occasions.

Caring for Your Hand-Block Print Dress

With regular upkeep, your unique garment will look wonderful for years to come.

How to look after your hand block print dress:

• Cold water wash with light detergent.
• Do not bleach or use powerful chemicals.
• Dry in shade to keep the colour.
