Hand block printing.
A teak block, a copper dye pot, a length of cotton on a long table. Natural dyes, five hundred years of practice, and an imperfection that signs every piece.
Hand-block printed bedsheets and cotton shirts, in the colors of a Jaipur courtyard at dusk.
A teak block. A copper dye pot. A length of cotton laid flat on a long table. Some things the hand does better than the machine.
“Every imperfection is a signature.”
Five hundred years of practice — in a shirt you can wear on a Tuesday, in a bedsheet that softens with every wash.
Real footage from our Jaipur workshop — no machines, no shortcuts. A craftsman, a carved teak block, and a length of our cotton.
No synthetic dyes. No industrial effluent. No machines in the printing. A piece of Jaipur House cotton passes through four pairs of hands over five to seven days — the same way it was made in 1620.
Seasoned sheesham teak, one chisel, one buti at a time. A single block can last fifty years and be passed down a generation.
Indigo fermented from leaves. Madder red boiled from roots. Turmeric, pomegranate rind, iron filings. Nothing synthetic, nothing from a factory.
Pressed by palm — no electricity in the printing. Forty blocks to a metre, each one aligned by eye against the last.
Laid on the sand to cure. The Rajasthan sun sets the color. The wash water is filtered and returned to the village fields.
Indigo, madder, turmeric, pomegranate rind. Boiled from roots, leaves and minerals — never synthetic.
Dyed in small earthenware vats. The wash water is filtered and flows back to the village fields.
No electricity. No machinery. Every strike is a human palm on a teak block on a length of cotton.
The cloth is laid on the sand to dry. The Rajasthan sun sets the color. No dryers. No heat from a grid.
"The water we use to wash the cloth goes back to the fields. The blocks are hand-carved teak. The dyes are boiled roots and leaves. Nothing here would surprise a dyer from four hundred years ago."
— Ramesh Chhipa, master block carver, Bagru
From the hands of Bagru and Sanganer — to the bedroom and the wardrobe. One craft, two cloths.

Each Jaipur House piece is hand-block printed in small batches by master artisans in Jaipur — so a new collection arrives only when the prints are dried, the colors set, and the cut feels right. Here's what's currently in our atelier. Tap a piece to be the first to know when it's ready.
