Block Print Bags & PJs from India - The Story

Block printing in India is a timeless and intricate textile art with a rich history spanning centuries. Skilled artisans carve detailed patterns onto wooden blocks, which are then dipped in vibrant dyes and stamped onto fabric, creating stunning designs.

In Rajasthan, where the arid climate makes agriculture difficult due to low rainfall, extreme temperatures, and frequent droughts, locals have turned to block printing, textiles, and handicrafts for livelihood. These crafts not only provide economic stability but also preserve the region’s cultural heritage, offering a creative response to its challenging environment.

Pinky, a resident of Rajasthan, embodies this resilience. Married at 19 and a mother by 20, she faced tragedy during the COVID pandemic when her husband, struggling with a lack of opportunities, took his own life. Left to care for her young son, Pinky found hope through sewing clothing and accessories, using her skills to build a life for her family.
