Blockprinting is an ancient tradition -- evidence has been found of block printed fabrics dating back to 2000 BC. Today, it is a skill practiced in Rajasthan, a revival due to efforts by Anokhi and others passionate about this cultural tradition.
Tilonia sources block print fabrics in Bagru from two brothers, Hanuman and Ganesh. Each one runs a blocking printing business using traditional dyes and handcarved blocks.
Our duvet sets and quilts are sewn by women artisans of Tilonia from block print cotton fabrics handprinted by block printers of Bagru in rural Rajasthan.
Block prints can range from a simple, single-color print to complex, multiple color prints. Each color is printed from a separate wooden block carved to print that specific pattern. Block printing is a centuries old craft still practiced today by artisans of India.
Tilonia block print textiles are certified handcrafted by Craftmark.
