Plumb the depths of the sea with Samudree; a collection of complex 12-block prints that layer colour upon colour to create a vibrant, underwater world. Look closely and you'll discover whimsical characters- we've taken great joy in adding quirky, tiny details to these incredible prints.
Together with a team of talented, young designers, block makers & printers in Jaipur & Sanganeer - both centuries-old block printing centers - we've taken hand block printing to a new level of complexity & depth.
Samudree means nautical in Hindi, and while the technique & process are rooted in a centuries-old textile culture, we've looked for inspiration not from the traditional land-based floral block prints of the region, but from the ocean and the rich world that lays within it.
Samudree's oceanic origins have found a home in this collection of playful summer dresses and overlays in the softest cottons, linens & silks.
Most block print clothing uses 3-5 block patterns, so these designs really stretched our whole team of designers, block makers & printers.
