My training in printed textiles gave me the experience I needed to really dive into this project head first. Various trips to Jaipur, India (the traditional centre of block printing) over the past few years have allowed me to spend time with master carvers and printers, steadily acquiring the knowledge and skills I needed to begin my own experiments in these beautiful and ancient techniques.
My passion for ethical practice has informed this project every step of the way and I feel strongly that our products should have an actively positive impact on individuals, communities and the environment. Seeing the environmental devastation of chemical dyes leaching straight onto the streets from printing units in Jaipur consolidated my intention to use 100% plant-based colours and harness nature’s subtle and beautiful palette. With this ‘integrity over profit’ mindset, I have also taken the time to find highly skilled local craftspeople to work with, the meeting of whom has felt as organic as the process itself. By donating 10% of our profits to I-India, a charity supporting street children in Jaipur, I hope to broaden the positive impact of your purchase and keep the wheel of kindness turning.
