Taavi

Special Technique/Craft:Kalamkari is a type of hand-painted or block-printed cotton textile, wherein motifs are inspired from the folklore and are hand painted using the tool of kalam directly onto the fabric. The process involves washing, rinsing, soaking and bleaching the fabric and applying mordants and dyes using natural substances like indigo (blue), madder (red), mango bark (yellow) and palm sugar (black). Painting on the fabric is done with a kalam, charcoal and myrobalan paste.Design:Region: Andhra Pradesh and Madhya PradeshBeige and redAbstract print maxi dressSquare neckSleeveless, no sleevesSmocked detailMaxi length in flared hemCotton fabricDisclaimerThis is a handcrafteddress, and is prone to colour bleeding due to use of natural dyesThe print on the garment might be uneven owning to the handcrafted nature of the product, adding essence to the garment.Taavi uses a sustainable thread for the manufacturing of its garments.
