Hand block printing: A piece of living history – brought to Europe with love

Welcome to our online shop! We're so glad you're here. We specialize in hand block printing – a traditional Indian art form that we cherish and are happy to share with you. Each piece is carefully handcrafted and has its own unique story.

A long tradition

Handblock printing has existed for over two thousand years. These intricate patterns once even adorned the robes of Queen Nur Jahan, whose taste made this art form famous.

Origin of our patterns

Our fabrics come primarily from Rajasthan, Jaipur, and Gujarat. Each region has developed its own style – from floral motifs in Sanganer to geometric patterns in Bagru. The designs always reflect the local nature and culture.

This is how our pieces are created

Our garments are entirely handmade, from the intricate carving of the wooden blocks to the precise printing with natural dyes. The small, subtle irregularities discreetly reveal the meticulous handcraftsmanship and make each piece a subtle eye-catcher.

Tradition meets modern style

Working closely with talented artisans, we combine traditional patterns with modern, style-conscious cuts – inspired by the effortless elegance of Parisian style and the clean, minimalist aesthetic of Scandinavia. The result: timeless designs with a contemporary touch. This creates authentic, on-trend garments that are easy to integrate into everyday life.

High-quality fabrics for long-lasting quality

We use only high-quality natural materials, carefully selected for their durability. Our fabrics are distinguished by their exceptional longevity, comfortable feel, and natural breathability. The production of particularly lightweight yet robust textiles demands the utmost precision: thread count and fiber length play a crucial role. Longer fibers – such as those found in high-quality cotton – create a smoother, more resilient surface, while a higher thread count makes the fabric denser and more tear-resistant.

The gentle mercerization process gives the fabric its supple feel and ensures that it retains its shape and structure even after frequent wear and washing. This balance of lightness and stability clearly distinguishes our products from conventional materials.

Limited edition pieces

Our garments are produced in limited quantities because many factors – from weather and fabric quality to precise color mixing – must align perfectly to meet our high quality standards. Reproducing the same color result is not always possible.

Preserving together

Close collaboration with our artisans helps us to continue this tradition sustainably and fairly. Each piece thus tells a story not only of craftsmanship and tradition, but also of genuine partnership and mutual respect.

A piece of tradition for your everyday life

Our clothing subtly blends tradition and individuality. This way, you not only wear something special, but also naturally become part of a story that goes far beyond fashion.

By choosing our hand-printed fabrics, you are not only choosing a piece of history, but also supporting the artisans in keeping their incredible tradition alive.
