Hand Block Printed Maheshwari Silk-Cotton Unstitched Suit Set

Pure hand block printing on soft Maheshwari fabric. Each motif is pressed by hand, so every set is slightly unique. It comes with a printed dupatta and a cambric cotton bottom.

This suit joins two Indian crafts: Maheshwari weaving and hand block printing. Artisans press each motif onto the silk and mercerized cotton fabric by hand with carved wooden blocks, one impression at a time. Small variations in the print are the mark of real handwork and are not flaws.

The top and dupatta carry the print and keep the Maheshwari fabric’s light drape and soft sheen. The cotton cambric bottom is plain, so the print stands out and the set stays comfortable to wear.
