100% ORGANIC COTTON
HAND BLOCK PRINTED WITH NATURAL DYES

The blacks are the delicate genius of natural dyes - with an unmatched richness and depth. The whites are the prefect contrast, a field of pattern in playful array.

This is clothing with movement and energy. Feel the flow, the style and grace of this remarkable collection.











Maiwa has worked with block printed fabric for over 30 years. This organic cotton has been hand block printed with natural dyes by world renowned ajrakh artisans. Light to medium weight fabric is perfect for garments and quilting.
 
The ajrakh artisans of Kachchh are most famous for the traditional ajrak process. The traditional process is a long one, involving several steps of washing and scouring the cloth, then additional steps to mordant the cloth, and still more steps as each colour is either directly block printed or resist block printed with natural dyes.

The same artisans have turned their hands to creating this geometrically stunning fabric. Leaves, patterns, stripes of dots,  each pattern shows the hands of a master.












To our U.S. customers – don't forget that the exchange rate works in your favour, it's like an extra discount.
