Teal Cotton Hand Block Printed Long Kurta

Cotton in a fine printed pattern, block printed by hand, gives this kurta its all-over texture. Cut in a comfort fit that falls to knee length, it has a Chinese collar, a V placket with shell buttons, full sleeves and a straight hem, with a side pocket for everyday ease. Hand wash it separately to keep the print intact, then team it with churidar pyjamas and juttis for a festive celebration.

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.
