Organic Cotton Pillow Case - Bagh Madder Diamond

View all pieces in this print.

The impact of Bagh block prints comes from the dramatic use of red, black and white; a style which originates with the Bhil and Bhilala cultures of central India. Highly recognizable Bagh prints are a bold evolution of the block printer’s art.

These block prints are made in the traditional way using tannin, iron water & natural dyes. A process that has multiple distinct steps including scouring, mordanting, printing, washing and immersion dyeing. This pattern on cloth is the result of a wooden block being placed many times by an artisan’s hand - slight variations give the cloth life and are to be celebrated.
