Dabu is a technique of block-printing fabric specific to the Mewar region. First, a design is hand-carved into a block of wood. Then that design is hand-printed onto fabric using mud as a resist. The fabric is dyed in indigo and then washed. After the mud is removed, an intricate design is left in its place.

Due to the nature of handmade, color and size will vary slightly. Each pillow is one-of-a-kind!

Pillow insert is not included. We recommend using a down pillow insert that is 2" larger than the cover size for a fuller look.

Care Instructions:

We recommend washing your pillow cover before using it. Due to the nature of indigo, there may be color transfer, just like when you wear a new pair of jeans. After a few wash cycles, there won't be any more transfer. Fading over time is normal for natural dyes.

• Machine wash cold, separately, with mild detergent
  
• Air dry
• Iron on appropriate setting when needed
