Block printing: a repeated manual craft
Every pareo and every scarf is created through a traditional process in which the design is transferred onto the fabric using hand-carved and manually impressed wooden blocks.

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

The fabric is prepared and spread on the work surface: a simple base, ready to receive 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 manual craftsmanship.
