🧵 Craft Story

This kurta is the result of Dabu printing, an eco-conscious technique that involves stamping fabric with mud paste, sprinkling sawdust, and dyeing it in natural colors. Once dried and washed, the masked areas reveal untouched base colors, creating a beautiful contrast. The entire process is done by hand in small artisan units in Bagru, Rajasthan – keeping a 400-year-old heritage alive.
