Block printing: a repeated artisanal gesture by hand
Each pareo and scarf is created through a traditional process in which the pattern is transferred onto the fabric with hand-carved and manually imprinted wooden blocks.

The process begins with the preparation of the tools and carved blocks, each designed to leave a part of the design on the fabric.

The fabric is prepared and spread on the work surface: a simple base, ready to embrace colour, rhythm, and repetition.

The block is then pressed by hand, one step after another. The continuity of the pattern comes from the artisan's eye and experience.

Finally, the fabrics are checked, dried, and prepared. Small variations are not defects: they tell the authentic character of handmade craftsmanship.
