Merchant & Mills : Minesweeper Indian Block Print

A very intricately carved Bagru block print in classic black. Bagru, a small village in Rajasthan, 35 kilometres from Jaipur, is known for its hand block printing utilising traditional processes and natural colours. Bagru prints tend to be more simple with limited colours in comparison to Sanganer block prints which are more colourful with finer detail. Block printing is still practiced by the Chippa community, who have lived here for over 400 years. This particular design is very finely carved and takes a long time to create each block. Minesweeper is suitable for tops, and dresses and skirts with fullness. Indian handlooms are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave due to their handmade nature, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
