Exclusive Block Print Sarees – Pure Handcrafted Art

Artisans use engraved blocks of wood to print patterns on different materials. You’ll find printed silk sarees, blouses, and dresses. This is one of the oldest, slowest, and simplest ways of textile printing. This is a labour-intensive technique and therefore, it’s rare to find it. However, iTokri brings you a broad range of hand-block printed sarees with beautiful designs from all across India! Each block print saree has been printed with a different hand-block printing method from a different region. We have the Bagh handprint sarees, Ajrakh block print sarees, and even Kashidakari Hand Embroidered Chanderi Silk sarees. 

Make A Stylish Statement With Hand Block Printed Sarees

iTokri brings you a broad range of different styles of printed saree designs that you will love! We bring you Ajrakh block printed silk sarees at a price you won’t be able to refuse. 

Ajrakh block printing is mainly done in the region of Barmer in Rajasthan. It’s made with natural dyes including vegetable and mineral dyes.

FAQs 

What is the process of block printing?

The block-printing process includes drawing engravings on a material (a block of wood, plastic, or any other material). This is known as the ‘block.’ The next step is inking it and then using it as a stamp on fabric materials. The designs are replicas of the engravings on the block. 

Does block print fade?

The permanence and instability of the dyes used in any fabric aren’t guaranteed. All block printed materials get affected by direct sunlight and change colour or fade over time. However, this is a sign that natural dyes have been used in the making. 

How do I stop my prints from fading?

The best barrier to direct light is a fixative spray. These sprays act as a protective layer over your clothes and contain chemicals to counter the UV rays. You can also extend the longevity of your prints’ life by washing them properly according to the instructions given by the manufacturer. 

Can you wash block printed saree?

Yes, you can wash block printed saree.
