Slow Clothes - The Second Verse of Summer

by - Tuesday, June 05, 2018


On May 17 we launched our Slow Clothes for the Summer of 2018. Clothes that sing of artisans, making, natural dyeing, and hand-weaving. We've just released the second verse of that song and it is available now.






DABU LINEN SHAWLS
IN-STORE AND NOW ONLINE FOR THE FIRST TIME






Dabu is a traditional Rajasthan block print technique which begins with fine desert sand. This sand is used to make a mud resist. The resist is printed on linen cloth with wooden printing blocks. 

Block printing on linen with natural colour requires exceptional skill and specialized dye knowledge. We are proud to say that these Dabu linen shawls represent some of the most accomplished textile printing being done in the world today - using techniques that have lasted for hundreds of years

Naturally dyed linen shawls printed using the dabu method — wrap some art around you.
