HAND BLOCK PRINTED BEDDING
NATURAL DYES ON ORGANIC COTTON
15 NEW PATTERNS
Ajrakh is a traditional block printing technique. All our bedding is printed with natural dyes on organic cotton. For centuries, wooden blocks have been used to print eloquent geometric patterns on cotton. These patterns are timeless, revealing a remarkable play between figure and line.
Blocks are hand-carved from hardwood. These are used in a printing process that can involve up to thirty distinct steps. The many processes of scouring, washing, printing with mordants, dyeing, washing, printing with resists, dyeing, washing, printing with dyes and final washing can take up to three weeks to complete. Much of the beauty and depth of Ajrakh cloth comes from the intricacy of the imprint.
