In today’s world, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword - it’s a lifestyle choice. Whether we’re curating our wardrobes or decorating our homes, we’re all seeking ways to make thoughtful, lasting purchases that align with our values. That’s where block printing steps in.
Rooted in tradition and powered by craftsmanship, block printing offers a blend of artistry, sustainability, and timeless style. At Raahi Living, we’re proud to carry forward this heritage with our collection of clothing and homewares that celebrate the beauty of this craft. Here’s why block print fabrics deserve a special place in your modern life.
Crafted Sustainably, Designed to Last
Unlike mass-produced textiles, block printing relies on processes that are as gentle on the planet as they are beautiful to look at:
- Natural Dyes: Many traditional block printers, and those we work with, especially in Sanganer and Bagru, use plant-based and mineral dyes. These dyes create soft, earthy tones that are free from harsh chemicals, making them safer for your skin and the environment.
- Handmade with Care: Each block print design is hand-stamped onto fabric, reducing the need for machinery and large-scale energy use. This artisanal approach not only lowers the carbon footprint but also makes every piece truly one of a kind.
When you choose Raahi Living’s block-printed products, you’re choosing sustainability without sacrificing style.
A Wardrobe That Tells a Story
There’s something magical about wearing a garment that carries a story in its every fold. Blockprint clothing isn’t just fashionable - it’s truly meaningful.
- Not Following Trends: From breezy dresses to skirts you can wear with virtually anything, block prints are the ultimate in wearable art. Their timeless prints and vibrant colours make them perfect for day-to-night dressing.
- Yes To Comfort: Crafted from breathable, natural cotton, our block print pieces are made for all-day comfort. Whether it’s a crisp summer morning or a cosy winter afternoon, they’re easy to layer and style throughout the year.
- Truly Ethical Fashion: When you shop block print clothing, you’re directly supporting skilled artisans and helping to preserve a craft that’s been passed down for generations.
At Raahi Living, pieces like our Avaani dress and Meher skirt are designed to blend heritage with modern elegance, making them staples you’ll reach for time and time again.
Home Decor with Block Prints
Block printing isn’t just for your wardrobe - it's a beautiful way to bring warmth and character into your home.
- Cosy Layers: Our block-printed quilts are the perfect mix of function and beauty, keeping you warm while adding a touch of artistry to your bedroom. Raahi Living's Cotton Quilts blend English countryside cottage core with Indian craftsmanship - a matchmade in decor heaven!
- Table Linens with Personality: From scalloped napkins to intricately printed tablecloths, block-printed tableware transforms everyday meals into something special, without the fuss.
- Unique Accents: Think cushion covers, throws, or bedsheets with bold yet classic patterns. These handcrafted pieces bring a sense of individuality to your living space.
Block prints have a way of making a home feel lived-in yet thoughtfully curated.
The Beauty of Handmade
In a world of machine perfection, block printing stands out for its human touch. The slight variations in each piece - the result of the artisan’s hand - are a reminder of its authenticity and charm. It’s this uniqueness that makes block printing so special.
Blending Heritage with Modern Living
What makes block printing truly remarkable is its ability to feel both traditional and modern at the same time. At Raahi Living, we embrace this duality, creating designs that honour the craft’s roots while making them relevant to today’s lifestyle.
From timeless wardrobe staples to handcrafted home decor, our block-printed collections are made to inspire and delight.
