The traditional art of handblock printing can be traced back to 5,000 years in the past. This intricate process involves printing on cotton fabric using hand-carved wooden blocks. Artisans traditionally relied on natural dyes and in more recent times, azo-free, non-toxic dyes have been introduced to ensure a sustainable and environmentally conscious approach.

Handblock printed products are artisanal, unique and one-of-a kind. The variations in the prints are not flaws, but rather the hallmark of a handmade and artisanal product.

At Motif & Paisley, we are honouring this traditional art. Our pieces are designed to add a pop of colour and vibrancy. We works with small workshops in Rajasthan, India to bring our designs to reality.
