Green-Blue Cotton Hand Block Printed Floral Kaftan

Hand block printing brings a floral motif to this cotton kaftan, cut in a relaxed, flared silhouette for easy movement. The V-neck, straight hem and kimono sleeves give it an effortless drape, while the calf length keeps it breezy for summer days. Wear it to the beach or layer it over separates from the Fabindia edit for a relaxed evening look.

Craft Details

One of the most widespread techniques used for fabric decoration, hand block printing has been practiced by extremely skilful artisans for centuries in India. This remarkable traditional craft of fabric printing involves the use of engraved wooden blocks, with separate blocks for each colour pressed against fabric with great precision to create striking patterns. Examples of this very fine block printing go back centuries.
