Hand Block Printing - The magic behind the process

The beauty of Miss Sundara is in the story, the process and the people behind the scenes as much as the end product, its something we are very passionate about sharing.

Skilled artisans begin by sketching intricate designs on paper, which are then meticulously transferred onto wooden blocks. These blocks, each a masterpiece in itself, are painstakingly carved with precision and finesse. The magic truly unfolds when these blocks are dipped into vibrant natural dyes and pressed onto fabric, leaving behind a symphony of colors and patterns. It's a dance of creativity and skill that breathes life into every hand-block printed textile.

Our signature hand-block printing is done by artisans outside Jaipur. The blocks are carved from wood by hand, then printed using gentle eco inks, by eye - no machinery is used. It is a technique that has changed very little over the centuries and takes years to master. The fabric is then dried in the Rajasthani sunshine before being sent to our tailors and seamstress to create our beautiful collections of homewares and accessories.

A Tapestry of Uniqueness - Why Hand Block Printing Shines 

What makes hand block printing truly shine is its uniqueness and authenticity. No two pieces are exactly alike, as slight variations add a touch of individuality to each creation. The use of natural dyes further enhances the charm and allure of these textiles, making them not only visually stunning but also eco-friendly and sustainable.
