About this piece
A hand block printed cotton carrying kalamkari-inspired motifs — creepers, birds and paisley in an earthy multi palette of madder tones, black and mustard. Honest label first: this is block printed in Sanganer, Jaipur as a tribute to Andhra's pen kalamkari, not pen-drawn kalamkari itself. The dense storytelling repeat suits jackets, dupattas, tote bags and statement quilting. 44 inches, per meter.
Specifications
How much fabric do you need?
A rough guide for 44 in (112 cm) wide fabric — your tailor may ask for a little more depending on pattern matching and your size.
How to wear
Best where the busy repeat can breathe: an unlined jacket over plain black, a dupatta on a solid mustard suit, or roomy tote bags. Pre-wash cold before cutting and dry in shade; the multi palette is pigment-stable after the first wash.
Frequently asked
Is this real kalamkari?
No, and we say so plainly: real kalamkari is pen-drawn in Andhra Pradesh. This is a Sanganer hand block print inspired by those motifs — hand-made, just a different craft, honestly labelled.
Do multiple colours mean multiple blocks?
Yes — each colour needs its own carved block and a separate pass over the table, aligned by eye. Tiny colour offsets between passes are the hand-work signature.
How much for a jacket?
2 m makes a short unlined jacket; 2.5 m adds a matching potli or belt. Sold in half-meter steps so you buy only what the pattern needs.
