Tiny Warli figures, huts and animals march in yellow across a deep blue field.

Why this piece

  • Genuinely hand block printed with hand-carved wooden blocks, never screen or machine printed.
  • Colour-fast - the yellow does not bleed into the blue on the first wash.
  • A dense, small-scale print that reads as texture from across a room and as folk art up close.

The Warli print

Bhagalpur artisans stamp the figures one block at a time, which is why the little dancers and huts crowd together at some repeats and breathe at others. A horizontal band of stylised linear motifs closes the hem, so the print has a finish rather than simply stopping.

Light blue notes lift the yellow off the dark ground and keep the density from turning heavy.

The silk and the styling

Katan silk gives this set its quiet lustre and a graceful drape, and it stays opaque enough to wear without a lining. At 600 to 650 g for the full set, it carries easily through an office day.

The dark ground makes it an easy office and daily-wear choice; oxidised silver and a plain yellow or ivory clutch pick up the figures without competing. Hand block printed on Katan silk in Bhagalpur is a combination almost nobody else stocks - most folk-art block prints you will find are cotton.

Slight variation in the register is how hand block work signs itself.
