Chand Handwoven Cotton Hand block Printed Kalamkari Fabric

Chand is a celebration of structural precision and organic warmth. Hand-spun and handwoven in the historic looms of Machilipatnam. This particular piece features a striking juxtaposition of styles. The main body is adorned with a sophisticated geometric lattice- bold, cross-like frames in an earthy umber brown that encase soft, unbleached circular "moons." This structured "Jaal" is beautifully softened by a vivid, double-sided border. The border showcases a delicate flowing vine of indigo-blue florets set against a rich madder-pink backdrop, providing a burst of botanical elegance to the architectural body. Product Details Craft: Hand-spun and Handwoven Machilipatnam Cotton with Natural Dye Kalamkari Block Print. Material: 100% Organic Handloom Cotton (Indigenous to Andhra Pradesh). Design: A rhythmic geometric lattice in umber brown and cream, finished with a detailed indigo-floral border on a madder-pink base. Dimensions Length: 82 cms Width: 43 Inches Feel & Drape: The fabric possesses a wonderful, honest hand-feel, sturdy enough to provide structure but breathable enough for the peak of summer. It offers a soft, matte finish that feels gentle against the skin. Due to the high-quality handloom weave, it drapes with a dignified weight, making it ideal for silhouettes that require clean lines. Styling Inspiration The contrast between the geometric body and the floral border offers endless creative possibilities. We recommend using the geometric lattice for the main body of a long kurta and highlighting the floral borders on the sleeve cuffs, side slits, or even as a high-mandarin collar. It also makes for a stunning contemporary jacket or a pair of structured culottes where the border is used at the hemline. Specifications & Care Care: Hand-wash separately in cold water using a mild liquid detergent. Natural indigo and madder may release excess dye in initial washes; this is a natural characteristic of the craft. Dry in shade. Shipping: Dispatched within 3-8 business days.

Note from the Artisan: Every block is placed by hand, and every dye is brewed from nature. Slight overlaps in the print or variations in the brown and pink tones are the signatures of the human hand, reminding us that this fabric was made slowly, with intention.
