Pareo - Sarong in 100% handmade cotton - LOTO. LOTO cotton pareo with tribal patterns. The designs decorating the pareo are made with handmade wooden stamps. A typical and traditional Indian craftsmanship for your ideal summer pareo. This is also a versatile, adaptable, and easily wearable accessory.
The stamping of the patterns and also the production of the wooden stamp are entirely handmade. Furthermore, for multicoloured designs, the printing process is done once for each colour: this means that for a 3-colour design, 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 colours or printed not only with complex motifs depicting animals or plants but also checks, and finally with various geometries and patterns.

Block print: a handmade, repetitive craft
Every pareo and scarf is created through a traditional process where the design is transferred to the fabric using carved wooden blocks manually pressed onto the material.

The work begins with preparing the tools and carved blocks, each designed to imprint a specific part of the design onto the fabric.

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

The block is then hand-pressed, step by step. 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 story of handmade craftsmanship.
