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 PradeshRust orangeHand block printed A-line topMandarin collarHalf button placketThree-quarter sleevesPleated Kalamkari hand block printDisclaimer:This is a handcrafted top, and is prone to colour bleeding due to use of natural dyesThe print on the garment might be uneven- owing to the handcrafted nature of the product, adding essence to the garment.
