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 napkin is one-of-a-kind!
Care Instructions:
After dyeing with indigo, there can be excess pigment which may cause color transfer, (just like the first time you wear a new pair of jeans). After a few wash cycles this will stop, and each wash should refresh the indigo and restore it's bright color.
