Block printing: a handcrafted gesture repeated by hand
Every pareo and scarf is created using a traditional technique in which the pattern is transferred onto the fabric with carved wooden blocks that are pressed by hand.

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

The fabric is prepared and laid out on the work surface: a simple base, ready to receive color, rhythm, and repetition.

The block is then pressed by hand, one step at a time. The continuity of the pattern is created by the artisan's eye and experience.

Finally, the fabrics are inspected, dried, and prepared. The small variations are not defects: they tell the authentic story of handcrafted production.
