About Craft

For India, block prints hold a place of pride, the age-old craft of dyeing and colouring a fabric using wooden blocks has been perfected over generations.

Bagru printing is a traditional hand block printing technique that is done using natural colours. It is a craft practiced by the ‘chippas’ community in a remote town of Rajasthan. The Bagru printed fabrics are known for their characteristic black and yellow ochre/cream colour combinations. 

Over 400 years old, Bagru was originally an island in the Sanjharia river. The village became famous for its natural block (Bagru) and resist (Dabu) printing techniques after receiving patronage from the then local ruler who invited master craftsmen from Isarda to customize clothes for the community.

A craft totally dependent on water, it flourished in Bagru due to its proximity to the water source and abundant sunlight. The river has disappeared since then, but the craft has been passed through generations and today the town is now marked as a Geographical Indication (GI), a new form of Intellectual Property that seeks to address the issue of indigenous rights and traditional knowledges.                                                                                                      

We, at Indian Tijori™ are excited to bring a collection of Bagru craft of handblock unstitched suit sets in Handloom Maheshwari fabric, made in the looms of our award-winning artisans from Rajasthan.
