Botanical Block Print Khaddar Button Down

Hand Block-Printed
Block printing is one of the oldest ways of putting pattern on cloth in South Asia. A drawing is transferred to a block of seasoned wood and carved by hand, so the pattern stands proud of the surface. Charged with dye and pressed down, the block leaves one repeat. Set side by side, impression after impression, the repeats become the cloth. Every piece is printed with natural dyes, and every block is carved by hand, so no two blocks are the same.

Handwoven
Handloom cloth is made by hand from end to end. Yarn is wound onto the warp beam of a pit loom, the khaddi, and woven one pick at a time: the weaver opens the shed with the treadles, throws the shuttle across and beats each row into place with the reed. The slubs and small shifts in tension stay in the cloth. That is the point.
Constructed from muted blue-grey Khaddar in a regular silhouette, this short-sleeve camp-collar shirt features two-colour block printing in earthy rust and deep green. Ornamental borders frame the front, back and sleeves, while flowering stems rise through the centre of the composition. Drawing from the arcades and passageways of Mughal architecture that remain embedded within contemporary cities, the artwork introduces organic life into a landscape shaped by history. A screen-printed Rastah chest logo and button-front closure complete the piece.
