Block print: an artisanal gesture repeated by hand
Every pareo and every scarf is created through a traditional process in which the motif is transferred onto the fabric using hand-carved wooden blocks pressed manually.

The process begins with the preparation of the tools and the carved blocks, each designed to leave a 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 after another. The continuity of the motif is born from the eye and experience of the artisan.

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