Cotton Dress Material

The Chippa people of Bagru, India, have been printing fabric for over a century, and they use natural colors in their hand block printing technique known as the "Bagru print." These Bagru prints are highly praised worldwide.

Bagru block printing is comparable to Sanganer block printing, which prints designs etched on wooden blocks directly onto light-colored cloth using dyes.

Bagru prints are done on off-white and beige backgrounds. Motifs of circular designs, flowers, fruits, birds create allure on fabrics like crepe, georgette, chiffon, silk, cotton.

Bagru prints use natural dyes: red from a mixture of madder and alum; grey, khaki, and brown from kashish; and black, which is most commonly made from a mixture of iron filings, jaggery, and gum. They work well with cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo, polyester, and, in certain situations, nylon cloth since they use plant-based colors.

Why is Bagru Block Printing So Expensive?

Some of the world's most exquisite, natural, and artistic fabrics are undoubtedly block printed textiles. It may be the most expensive method of producing textiles because it is the oldest, simplest, and most labor-intensive.
