Handcrafted Sanganeri Print Sarees Collection

The History and Craft of Sanganeri Printing

Sanganeri printing is a centuries-old art form originating in the vibrant town of Sanganer, Rajasthan. Renowned for its intricate floral motifs and vibrant colors, this craft flourished under the patronage of the Mughal emperors. The name "Sanganeri" comes from the region itself, which remains a hub for this exquisite hand-block printing technique.

Artisans use wooden blocks intricately carved with floral, paisley, and geometric designs to stamp patterns onto cotton or silk fabric. The printing process relies on natural dyes sourced from indigo, turmeric, and pomegranate, ensuring eco-friendliness. The result is a fabric that exudes elegance and timeless beauty.

Sanganeri printing gained international acclaim for its lightweight, breathable textiles perfect for sarees, dress materials, and home décor. Today, it continues to thrive, blending tradition with contemporary fashion.

The Evolution of Sarees and Sanganeri Variants

The saree, a staple of Indian fashion, has evolved to reflect regional crafts like Sanganeri printing. With its soft, airy fabric and intricate designs, the Sanganeri saree embodies grace and versatility, ideal for casual wear, festivals, and celebrations.
