Cotton pareo with tribal patterns RUJIA. The designs decorating the pareo are made with handcrafted wooden stamps. A typical and traditional Indian craft for your ideal summer pareo. This is also a multipurpose accessory, adaptable and easy to wear.
The stamping of the patterns and the production of the wooden stamp are entirely handmade. Furthermore, for multicolored patterns, the printing process is done 1 time for each color: this means that for a 3-color pattern, the fabric is printed 3 times over the entire surface.
In addition, 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 motifs depicting animals or plants but also checks and finally with various geometries and patterns.

- swimsuit cover-up skirt

Block print: a handcrafted gesture repeated by hand
Every pareo and every scarf is created through a traditional process in which the pattern is transferred onto the fabric with hand-carved and manually pressed 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 workbench: a simple base, ready to receive color, rhythm, and repetition.

The block is then hand-pressed, 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 craftsmanship.
