Handblock printed cotton fabric is a traditional textile made using a technique where intricate designs are hand-stamped onto the fabric with carved wooden blocks, each dipped in dye. This process is done manually, often by skilled artisans, which gives the fabric a unique and authentic look. The designs can range from floral patterns, geometric shapes, paisleys, and ethnic motifs, to more abstract and contemporary designs.
The cotton fabric used for this method is typically soft, breathable, and lightweight, making it ideal for warm weather clothing like dresses, shirts, kurtas, and home textiles such as bed linens or curtains. The handblock printing process gives each piece a slight variation, adding to its charm and individuality.
