A block-printed handkerchief (2 colors) depicting a hill covered in blooming nemophila flowers.
Product Description
This handkerchief is inspired by the nemophila fields that are in full bloom from mid-April to early May. The tranquil scene of tiny flowers swaying in the breeze is depicted using the traditional Indian technique of "block printing." Each pattern is hand-drawn by artisans using woodblocks, resulting in subtle variations in texture and overlapping colors. The warmth that cannot be achieved with machine printing evokes the delicate beauty of nemophila and the richness of nature. With its clear blue color, nemophila is a flower often associated with "purity" and "gentleness," making this pattern an excellent gift. Enjoy the image of the blue sky and flower field that unfolds in your heart every time you hold it.
Material Information
Block printing is a technique where each design is printed one color at a time, much like using a stamp made from a carved wooden block. First, the outline of the design is stamped, and then the colors are applied. The more colors used, the more complex the process becomes. Because it is all done by hand, there may be slight variations in dyeing and visible stamp lines, but these are part of the charm and character of block printing.
Precautions
Because the fabrics produced in India are cut and sewn by hand, there may be slight variations in size even within the same product, and the pattern may be misaligned depending on where it is cut. Also, some products use fabrics that prioritize texture, so there may be some minor weaving imperfections or pilling. Printed items are finished by skilled craftsmen using screens or woodblocks, so there may be variations in color, unevenness, or fading depending on the weather, temperature, humidity, and condition of the fabric at the time , but these are part of the unique charm of hand-printed items. To ensure longevity, please hand wash the items. Also, please avoid using a dryer as it may damage or shrink the fabric.
