Green Cotton Silk Hand Block Printed Ijar

This cotton silk ijar sit smooth against the skin, cut in a regular fit that carries a hand block printed geometric pattern across the length. The straight silhouette falls clean to a straight opening, with a side drawstring waist keeping the look uncluttered from the front. Style them with a fitted kurta and juttis for a festive lunch, or bring in a plain Fabindia top for a simpler day out.

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.
