Wine Hand Block Printed Geometric Plum Top

Small hand block printed geometric motifs run down the front of this A-line top, set below a pin-tucked, sequinned yoke at the round neck. Sleeveless and cut in cotton, it falls to waist length with a straight hem and gathers gently from the yoke for easy movement. Best kept to dry cleaning to hold the print, it works well for festive days at home. Team it with denims or palazzos and simple juttis for a relaxed celebration 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.
