A handkerchief with a mimosa block print that heralds the arrival of spring (3 colors)
Product Description
March 8th is International Women's Day, a day to celebrate women's participation in society. In Italy, it's also known as Mimosa Day. It's customary for husbands to give mimosas to their wives, children to give them to their mothers, and even women to exchange them with each other. The meaning of the mimosa flower varies from country to country. In Italy, it means "gratitude," in Japan, "elegance" and "friendship," and in France, "sensitivity" and "compassion." A handkerchief with a mimosa pattern is perfect for yourself, or as a small gift to express your gratitude.
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.
