Black-Maroon Cotton Bagru Printed Salwar

Bagru block printing spreads a dense floral motif across this cotton salwar, worked in the regular fit with a half-elasticated waist for ease. Side pockets sit neatly at the hip, while the pleated hem gathers in at the ankle for a tapered, full-length finish. Set it under a plain kurta, with juttis and simple jewellery, for everyday wear or a relaxed festive lunch.

Craft Details

An indigenous style of printing using natural colours on wooden blocks Bagru is famous for using a deep red colour outline called ‘Begar’ and a black colour called 'Syahi'. The patterns and motifs predominant in Bagru are a juxtaposition of geometrical shapes and bird, animal and floral forms that create beautiful and elegant designs. This craft originated from the small town of Bagru, Rajasthan, from which it has taken its name.
