Bagru prints are more famous for their exceptional quality of being eco-friendly. Even today, artisans use traditional vegetable dyes for printing cloth. Like, the color blue is made from indigo, greens out of indigo mixed with pomegranate, red from madder root, and yellow from turmeric. Usually, Bagru prints have ethnic floral patterns in natural colors. Bagru prints form an essential part of the block printing industry of Rajasthan. They always believe in creating customer-oriented products because, for us, customer choice supremely matters. They work to preserve the region's rich and diverse cultural heritage. All of their crafts have been inspired by the old traditional skills & methods. iTokri is more than happy to collaborate with such creative craftsmen.
