FAQ
FAQ
1. What is hand block printing?
It is a process where designs are stamped on fabric using hand-carved wooden blocks.
2. How does Rabazaar do block printing?
At Rabazaar, artisans print each design manually by stamping wooden blocks dipped in dye, one layer at a time.
3. Who creates these prints?
We work with traditional artisan communities ( Khatari, Chhipa community ) across India who have practiced block printing for generations.
4. What kind of dyes are used?
We use natural dyes made from plant and mineral sources such as indigo, turmeric, and pomegranate.
5. How long does the process take?
Each piece takes several hours to days, as every layer is printed and dried by hand.
6. Will every piece look the same?
No. Slight misalignment and color variation are natural. That’s how you know it’s handmade.

Wash separately in cold water. Use mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight while drying.
8. How does Rabazaar support these artisans?

Yes. All Rabazaar prints are made in India using traditional techniques.
BLOCK PRINTING
Block printing,
The print isn’t perfectly aligned. The colour shifts slightly from one edge to the other. That’s how you know it was made by hand. Hand block printing is not a technique designed for speed. Each piece of fabric is printed slowly, using hand-carved wooden blocks pressed one by one into natural dyes. Every layer takes time. Every mistake stays visible. Nothing is hidden.
Ajrakh printing from Gujarat is one of the most demanding forms of this craft. Practised by the Khatri community of Kutch, it follows a precise sequence of printing, dyeing and washing that can take weeks to complete. Natural dyes made from plants, minerals and insects are built up layer by layer to create deep geometric patterns. Traditional treatments, including washing with natural binding agents, give Ajrakh its distinctive depth and earthy sheen. The result is fabric that feels deliberate, balanced and quietly powerful.
Bagru printing from Rajasthan follows a different rhythm. Bolder. More instinctive. Artisans in the village of Bagru use hand-carved blocks and natural dyes such as indigo, turmeric and pomegranate to print directly onto cotton or silk. Each block must be aligned by eye. Each colour layered by hand. The final fabric carries a raw, grounded character that no machine can replicate.
These textiles are not designed to look perfect. They are designed to feel real. When you wear them, you’re not wearing a trend. You’re wearing time, skill, and a process that refuses to be rushed.
