Handmade

Locally Made in Jaipur, India

Crafted from 100% premium organic cotton, the Tara Maxi Dress is hand block printed by skilled artisans in Jaipur. They press coral-red blooms and trailing vines onto a soft sage-green base one wooden block at a time. Subtle variations in the print make each piece quietly one of a kind.

The dress is lightweight and breathable, with a fitted empire bodice, a square neckline that ties at the front and short puff sleeves. The tiered skirt falls to the ankle in soft gathers and natural volume, so it moves easily with every step. It has an easy elegance that suits golden-hour walks, summer brunches and unhurried days.

Product

What does “hand block printed” mean?

Each pattern is carved by hand into a wooden block. The printer dips the block in dye and presses it onto the fabric, one impression and one color at a time. A single piece can take hundreds of impressions.

It’s slow, skilled work that Jaipur has been famous for over generations, and it’s why no two pieces are exactly alike.

Will it look exactly like the photos?

Very close. Because every piece is printed and finished by hand, you may see small variations in color, print placement and texture. These are signs of handwork, not defects, and they make your piece one of a kind.

Screens also show colors a little differently, so the shade may vary slightly from what you see here.

Yes, we ship from Jaipur, India to most countries.

Cotton gets softer with every wash.

Will the colors fade?
