Mumbai Cotton Block Print - Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set - Madder Bloom

An exquisite Mumbai block printed duvet cover with 2 sets of pillowcases (4 total). Pairs beautifully with our handwoven or block printed sheets.

Made with fine cotton that has been masterfully block printed with natural dyes. Featuring contemporary wood blocks specially cut to imitate distressed painterly techniques, combined with the more familiar play of repeat geometric forms.

Over the centuries, communities of block printers have often migrated. When they do, their designs and ways of working change and evolve. This is certainly true of the Mumbai block printers. Originally dyers from Kachchh, Gujarat, they have taken the art of hand block printing in a completely new direction. Still working with natural dyes and traditional processes, they only work in contemporary designs they themselves create.

Details: Sewn at our studio in Vancouver, Canada. We've selected a complementary Mumbai block print for the back side of this duvet. Button closure with 7 sweet hand-carved buttons.

Fiber: 100% Cotton.
