The Art of Hand Block Printing
Hand block printing is a way of adding pattern to fabric, not a way of weaving it. It starts with a design that is carved by hand into seasoned wood such as sheesham or teak. Most prints need several blocks, one for the outline and one for each colour. The printer loads the block, presses it onto fabric stretched across a long padded table and places every repeat by eye, building the pattern metre by metre. It is slow and skilful work. Our hand block prints are made in Jaipur by AK and his team, and you can see their care in every piece.
Why Hand-Printed Pieces Vary Naturally
A block pressed by hand is never perfectly uniform. The pressure changes slightly, the spacing may move a little, colours may not line up exactly and dye settles differently across the cloth. These small variations are how you know the print is genuine and made by a person, not a machine.
Indian Textile Motifs, Reworked for Today
Indian block printing has a beautiful range of motifs, from flowering vines and buti sprigs to paisleys, lattice jaals and geometric borders. We take inspiration from them and give them a fresh look by changing their scale, spacing them more openly and pairing classic indigo with mustard, rose and sage. You can explore the stories behind these patterns in our journal.

Find the silhouette that suits you best. Choose hand block print dresses in midi, wrap and flowy styles for everyday wear, hand block print kurtas that go well with jeans or palazzos, or hand block print kurta sets for a complete look at work or on special occasions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hand block printing?
It is a traditional Indian technique of printing fabric by hand using carved wooden blocks. Colour is applied to the block and pressed onto the fabric repeatedly, with a separate block for each colour. It is widely practised in Rajasthan and Gujarat.
Why are hand block prints slightly different from one another?
Every impression is made by hand, so the pressure, spacing and alignment change a little with each press, and the dye absorbs differently across the fabric. That is why no two pieces are exactly the same, and it is a sign of authenticity.
Are THREAD COUNTS hand block printed garments handmade?
Yes, the printing is. The blocks are carved by hand and every impression is pressed and aligned by skilled printers. Our printing is done in Jaipur by AK and his team, and the fabric is then cut and stitched by tailors in small batches.
How should hand block printed clothing be washed?
Wash in cold water with a mild detergent, keeping it separate for the first few washes. Avoid bleach and long soaking, dry inside out in shade and iron on the reverse. For silk or embroidered pieces, hand wash or dry clean.
