Fish sarong handmade cotton scarf. Cotton sarong made with designs created using handmade wooden stamps. Typical and traditional Indian craftsmanship.
Both the stamping of the patterns and the production of the wooden stamp itself are 100% handmade. For multicoloured motifs, the printing process is done once for each colour, meaning for a 3-colour motif, the fabric is printed 3 times over the entire surface.
Furthermore, this cotton sarong 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 geometric patterns and designs.

Block printing: a handcrafted gesture repeated by hand
Every sarong and scarf is created through a traditional process where the motif is transferred onto the fabric using hand-carved and manually impressed wooden blocks.

The work 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 work surface: a simple base, ready to receive colour, rhythm, and repetition.

The block is then impressed by hand, one step after another. The continuity of the motif 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 craftsmanship.
