Pareo - Sarong in 100% handmade cotton - ANJALI. ANJALI cotton pareo with tribal patterns. The designs decorating the pareo are made with handmade wooden stamps. A typical and traditional Indian craft for your ideal summer pareo. This is also a multi-purpose, adaptable, and easy-to-wear accessory.
The stamping of the patterns, as well as the production of the wooden stamp, are done entirely by hand. Furthermore, for multi-color patterns, the printing process is done once for each color: this means that for a 3-color pattern, the fabric is printed 3 times over its entire surface.
Additionally, this cotton pareo with tribal patterns can also be used as a sarong, which is a large piece of cotton draped around the waist and worn as a skirt by men and women in many parts of Asia.
The fabric is often dyed with bright natural colors, or printed not only with complex patterns depicting animals or plants, but also with checks and various geometries and patterns.
This type of pareo is ideal to wear as
- skirt-style swimsuit cover-up
- dress-style swimsuit cover-up
- tube dress-style swimsuit cover-up
- one-shoulder dress
- beach towel
- wall hanging (ethnic decoration)

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

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 laid out on the workbench: a simple base, ready to receive color, 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 inspected, dried, and prepared. Small variations are not defects: they tell the authentic character of manual processing.
