Bagru, a small village in Rajasthan, 35 kilometres from Jaipur, is known for its hand block printing utilising traditional processes and natural colours. Bagru prints tend to be more simple with limited colours in comparison to Sanganer block prints which are more colourful with finer detail. Block printing is still practiced by the Chippa community, who have lived here for over 400 years.

This Indian hand-printed cloth is susceptible to irregularities in the print, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
Fabric Care: It's not unusual for the dye to migrate when handled as it's natural indigo dye - for the first couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum at 30 or 40 degrees with a handful of table salt. This will help fix the dye to prevent it running.
Please allow for a shrinkage of 3-5%.
Manufactured: Indian.
