The Art of Stole Crafting – Bagru, Block Printing, and Beyond

 

Stoles are more than mere accessories; they represent an artistry passed through generations, especially with crafts like Bagru block printing, Sanganeri prints, and Bandhani tie-dye. Bagru, originating in Rajasthan, is a cherished dyeing craft that uses natural dyes on cotton and silk. It creates earthy patterns that reflect the essence of Rajasthan’s rich tradition. Similarly, Sanganeri and Bandhani techniques bring intricate details, while tie-dye stoles capture whimsical color patterns, ensuring every piece narrates a story of heritage, culture, and skilled craftsmanship. At iTokri, each stole in this collection reflects India’s diverse cultural tapestry, perfect for anyone looking to add an authentic, artistic touch to their wardrobe.
