Bagru, Rajasthan

Thirty kilometres from our studio, Bagru has printed cloth the same way for about three hundred years: carved blocks, river water, dyes from pomegranate rind, iron and indigo. This summer's prints are small and quiet on purpose. You notice them up close.

Our story

Kapas is the Hindi word for raw cotton. We started in 2016 with two tables and a borrowed cutting shear off Sanganer Road, Jaipur. Today eleven printing families in Bagru and Sanganer print for us, and every piece is cut and stitched in our own workroom by a team of nineteen.

How a Bagru print is made

Four steps, three villages, about six weeks.

  1. A block carver cutting a floral motif into wood

    01

    Carving

    Each block is cut from sheesham wood in Pethapur. A full saree border can need four blocks, one for every colour.

  2. A hand marking a motif on turmeric yellow cotton

    02

    Printing

    Printers in Bagru and Sanganer stamp by eye along a chalk line. Around 1,400 impressions go into one saree.

  3. Close view of sage green crushed cotton

    03

    Dabu and dye

    For dabu, a paste of black clay, lime and gum is pressed on first. It holds back the dye, then washes away in the river tank.

  4. Folded stacks of dyed cotton and linen by a window

    04

    Wash and cut

    Every length is washed twice and dried on the ground in the sun before it comes to our workroom on Sanganer Road.
