Swatches dispatched within 3–5 working days across India.
Hand painted fabric is developed with studio artists who work directly on the stretched length with brush, pen and dye rather than through a block or a screen. Because there is no printing plate, artwork is not bound to a repeat: a motif can be placed on a saree pallu, run along a border, or scale across a panel exactly where the garment needs it. We work primarily on silk, silk-cotton, modal and fine cotton, using acid and pigment colours fixed by steam. Turnaround is longer than print and quantities are deliberately small — this is a technique for signature pieces and limited runs.
