The History of Bindaas Printing and Its Craftsmanship
Bindaas printing is a traditional form of hand block printing that embraces the rich heritage of natural dyeing and artisan skills. This craft finds its roots in the vibrant regions of Rajasthan, where block printing has been practiced for centuries. The term "Bindaas" represents a spirit of boldness and freedom, which is reflected in the bright, eye-catching patterns and colors of these prints. This style is known for its use of natural dyes, which add a sustainable touch to the fashion world.
The process of creating Bindaas prints involves a meticulous hand-block printing technique. Artisans use intricately carved wooden blocks to stamp designs onto the fabric. Each color and pattern is printed separately, requiring the fabric to be dyed and dried multiple times. What makes Bindaas printing special is the use of eco-friendly natural dyes, derived from plant roots, leaves, flowers, and minerals. These dyes not only bring out vibrant colors but also ensure that the fabric remains gentle on the skin and the environment.
Today, Bindaas prints are celebrated for their bold patterns, vivid colors, and traditional roots. At iTokri, we bring you a collection of authentic Bindaas natural dyed stoles, crafted by skilled artisans who carry forward this age-old tradition, blending it with contemporary designs to appeal to a global audience.
