Our Summer ‘23 Edit centers the handiwork of the artisan, whether in the quality and texture of the softest handwoven mulmul cotton used in our collection or in the intricate hand carving of the wooden block used for our Dappled Foliage collection, that finds expression in the botanical inspired blockprinted yardage.
'Dappled Foliage' takes its name from the effect of dappled sunlight falling through the branches of trees, a quality that we visualised mimicking when our soft mulmul cotton yardage was held up against sun light, after it was blockprinted.
Yards of the softest handwoven mulmul cotton were blockprinted with the motif of a sprawling botanical print, by artisans in Jaipur’s blockprinting capital - Sanganer in pale shades of Cerulean Blue and deep Fuchsia Pink. The design featured here is a bright fuchsia pink.
