Elegant Bagru Print Stoles: Traditional Block Prints

The History of Bagru Block Prints

Bagru printing is a traditional hand-block printing technique that originated in Bagru, a village near Jaipur, Rajasthan. The Chhipa community, known for their expertise in dyeing and printing, has kept this craft alive for over 400 years. Bagru prints are recognized for their earthy hues, which come from natural dyes made from local plants, flowers, and minerals. The process of Bagru printing involves the use of hand-carved wooden blocks dipped in natural colors to create intricate patterns on fabrics, including motifs inspired by nature. The technique includes "dabu" (mud resist) printing, which is an eco-friendly method where artisans use mud and natural dyes to create unique, bold designs.
