Kaftan

A handblock print cotton kaftan is a loose-fitting, flowy garment made of cotton fabric that features designs created using the handblock printing technique. Here’s a breakdown of each term:

• Handblock printing is a traditional technique where skilled artisans carve intricate designs into wooden blocks, dip them in natural or synthetic dyes, and press them onto the fabric by hand.

• Each color in the design typically requires a separate block and printing step.

• The result is a unique, slightly imperfect pattern that showcases the artisan’s craftsmanship.
