block print dresses

Artisans from SEWA, a nonprofit craft cooperative that champions women's rights, this table linen set is a pretty addition to any table. The set includes a table runner, four placemats, and four napkins, all with festive green and turquoise block-printed patterns.

May your dreams be full of joyous sensations and delightful images with this twin bedspread and pillow sham set by India's Arushi Gupta. The artisan works with cotton in jonquil, laurel, white and turquoise hues to create these gorgeous accessories, accented with a graceful block-printed pattern that evokes the glory of the spring season in these enchanting lands.

This crisp cotton and flax-blend shirtdress lends an exotic flair to any occasion. The deep teal dress features an all-over flower and vine block print in light blue, accented by a tree motif block print in orange, gold and yellow. Three-quarter length sleeves, slit pockets on both the sides, and a hidden button placket complete the design.

Replete with traditional Indian design, this stylish cotton scarf is handcrafted by Una Gupta. An attractive paisley motif adorns the central panel, while chevrons and vines decorate the ends. The cool colors of spring will brighten up any outfit. The designs are applied by a hand block print method that dates back to the 12th century.

Isha Jain celebrates India's textile and fashion legacies with the gorgeous design of this tunic. In cool turquoise blue, the tunic is sewn of chanderi, in which a 100% silk warp is combined with a 100% cotton weft, resulting in crisp, glossy sheer textures. Jain masters hand-block printing techniques in green, blue and black to adorn the tunic with floral and leafy patterns. Green silk taping trims the cuffs and hemline. Featuring lateral side slits and three-quarter length sleeves, the tunic is lined with cotton.

Named after a city in Madhya Pradesh, chanderi fabrics can be traced back to Vedic times; however, it was not until the 1970's that the cotton and silk blend fabric was developed.

Please note that due to the nature of the raw yarn used for weaving, chanderi textures are somewhat crisp.

Geometric stripes and whimsical signs decorate this splendid accessory, directly from India. Profiting from a palette of teal and snow white hues to obtain its radiant aura, Rajnandinee and Srabonti's newest cotton scarf is made with traditional block-printing techniques that ensure a high-quality accessory, embellished with cute tassels on each end.
