What is Kalamkari printing?
Kalamkari is a hand-painted and block-printed textile art from Andhra Pradesh. Two distinct styles exist: Machilipatnam (block printed) and Srikalahasti (pen drawn). Mythological scenes and floral motifs are the signature.
How is Kalamkari printing done?
In the pen style, artists draw directly on fabric using a bamboo kalam dipped in natural dyes. The block-printed style uses carved wooden blocks. Both involve 17+ steps including mordanting, dyeing, and sun-bleaching.
How can I tell if my Kalamkari product is genuinely block printed?
Look for slight irregularities in the pattern. block prints are never perfectly symmetrical. The reverse side shows faint ink marks. These small imperfections confirm it's hand-stamped, not machine-made.
Why do Kalamkari prints look slightly different from each other?
Each impression is placed by hand. Block pressure, ink amount, and fabric texture create natural variations. Two pieces from the same batch will look similar but never identical.

First wash in cold water with a pinch of salt to set the dye. Always hand wash or gentle machine cycle. Dry in shade. direct sun can shift natural dye colors over time.

Cotton is one of the most durable natural fabrics. It holds up well to regular washing and daily wear. Handloom cotton often outlasts its machine-made counterparts.
What makes handloom Cotton different from mul cotton?
