Heritage Block Prints

Embracing the Art of Heritage Block Prints

Block printing is one of the oldest and most celebrated textile traditions of India. Originating in the 12th century, block printing involves carving intricate designs onto wooden blocks, which are then used to stamp these patterns onto fabric. The art has been passed down through generations of artisans, and each piece carries the essence of history, culture, and the beauty of hand craftsmanship.

At Swades Creations, we bring this rich legacy to life with our collection of Heritage Block Prints, which showcase timeless patterns and vibrant hues.

Types of Block Print Sarees

Swades Creations offers a curated selection of block print sarees, each representing a different facet of the craft. 

Dabu Handblock Print: Our Chanderi Cotton Silk Dabu Sarees bring together the delicate silk texture of Chanderi with the earthy, rustic charm of Dabu printing. Dabu, a traditional mud resist printing technique, uses natural dyes to create beautiful and unique motifs on fabric, giving the saree a one-of-a-kind appeal.

Bagh Handblock Print: Our Chanderi Silk Cotton Sarees with Traditional Bagh Hand Block Print are a blend of fine silk and cotton, featuring the distinctive Bagh block prints that are known for their bold, geometric motifs and rich, earthy colours. This technique, originating from the Bagh region in Madhya Pradesh, has a long-standing tradition and brings a touch of heritage to any event.

Indigo Handblock Sarees: Another standout piece in our collection is the Chanderi Indigo Hand Block Dabu Saree. The indigo dye, a traditional and natural color, pairs beautifully with the Dabu technique, creating an effortless blend of modern and traditional styles.

Designs that Reflect Tradition and Elegance

From delicate floral vines to bold geometric motifs, Heritage Block Prints at Swades Creations represent a diverse range of designs. Some patterns are inspired by nature, showcasing blooming lotuses, leafy trails, and majestic birds, while others take inspiration from ancient architecture and traditional Mughal art. The charm of block prints is beautifully enhanced by the use of earthy tones and natural dyes.

Strength, Breathability, and Versatility

One of the defining features of our Heritage Block Print fabrics is their durability and comfort. Crafted on fine natural fabrics like pure cotton and silk blends, these creations are breathable, lightweight, and strong. The beauty of block printing lies not just in its visual appeal but also in the fact that each piece is made to be lived in.

Styling a Heritage Block Print Saree

The rich, earthy tones and intricate patterns of these sarees make them perfect for a variety of occasions. For a classic look, pair a Heritage Block Print saree with gold or oxidized jewelry to highlight its handcrafted appeal, while opting for a simple blouse to allow the print to take center stage. For a more contemporary feel, style it with a minimalistic, modern blouse and sleek accessories to create a chic, understated ensemble or for a more formal look, style it with a blazer to make a statement.
