Hand Block Printing
Block printing is a printing technique that uses a solid material to transfer ink into fabric. The block printing process involves engraving a design on the material, known as the block, inking the design, and then using the block as a stamp on the fabric. The resulting design will be a mirror image of the one on the block. The block may be a piece of wood, plastic, or any other suitable material. No machines are used to do block printing

Organic Colour Dyeing
We use natural organic dyes in our products, derived from plants, minerals, and other natural sources, ensuring that our fabrics are free from harmful chemicals and safe for both you and the environment.

Tye & Dye Craft
Tie-dyeing involves a variety of techniques such as stitching, folding, twisting, pleating, or crumpling fabric or garments, then binding them with string, rubber bands, or clamps before applying dye. The bound areas resist the dye, retaining the fabric's original color. Factors such as the thickness of the yarn and the tightness of the bindings influence how much dye is absorbed or resisted. This method allows for the creation of unique designs by blending multiple colors and shades, showcasing the versatility and creativity inherent in this craft.
