About Us

Welcome to Motif & Paisley! We are an ecommerce store that specializes in handblock printed home furnishing and everyday lifestyle products. Our products are crafted from 100% cotton fabric and feature unique designs and practicality.

Hand block printing is a traditional art form that has been practiced for over 500 years. Originating in the Chippa community of Rajasthan, India, this intricate process involves printing on cotton fabric using hand-carved wooden blocks. The result is a collection of vibrant and unique designs, including floral patterns, motifs, and paisleys.

The art of hand block printing is carried on by skilled artisans who have inherited age-old secrets to keep this tradition alive. Starting with carving the wooden blocks, to the actual printing process, the artisans have honed their skill for generations. The traditional practice relies on natural materials derived from plants and fruits to create a wide range of colors. In recent times, eco-friendly dye varieties that are Azo-free have also been introduced, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally conscious approach to the art.

The use of hand block printing techniques adds a unique charm and individuality to each piece of fabric. The imperfections and variations in the prints are not flaws, but rather the hallmark of a handmade and artisanal product. These subtle inconsistencies make each item truly one-of-a-kind, showcasing the craftsmanship and dedication of the artisans.

At Motif & Paisley, we celebrate the art of hand block printing by offering a curated collection of home decor and accessories. Our products are crafted with care and showcase the beauty of this timeless tradition. Each piece tells a story and brings a touch of elegance and individuality to your everyday style.
