    Week New Scarves

    New in the shop: Block Printed scarves

    18 Dec 2015

    On my recent teaching trip to Jaipur with Ritchie Ace Camps, I had a couple of days off, and was pleased to put them to VERY good use, because after the success of our last crop of limited edition block printed scarves, I was excited to design some more.

    So now, just in the nick of time for Christmas shopping, I’m delighted to present Weft and Trinity – both vegetable dye block printed Dupatta scarves, made the traditional way in a small printing compound in the Rajasthani village of Bagru, famed for its block printing tradition.

    Trinity (above) is classic block printing, done the old-fashioned way, using vegetable dyes and traditional wooden printing blocks, while Weft (below) is an exciting departure into the even more ancient world of mud resist printing and indigo dying, which you can read all about here.

    Find both scarves available for sale in our online store, and in our shop at 201 Bree Street too.
