Block Print Furnishing

Frequently asked questions

What sizes do the bed sheets and dohars come in?

The geometric and floral bed sheets are offered in a 90 x 108 inch size with two pillow covers, and a 60 x 90 inch size with two pillowcases. The floral red violet dohar is available in 90 x 108, 60 x 90, 60 x 60 and 42 x 42 inches, and the floral baby dohars in turquoise and indigo blue come in smaller sizes including 42 x 42, 36 x 50, 60 x 90 and 90 x 108 inches, so you can pick between a throw, single, double or cot layer.

How should I wash hand block-printed cotton bedding?

As these are hand block-printed on 100% cotton, we recommend a cold gentle wash separately for the first few washes, mild detergent, and no bleach. Dry in shade to keep the print colours — especially the indigo blues — from fading, and iron on the reverse if needed.

What is a kantha quilt and how is it different from a dohar?

The indigo blue botanical kantha quilt is a cotton throw finished with kantha hand stitching — small running stitches worked across the fabric that hold the layers together and add subtle texture. A dohar is a lightweight layered cotton coverlet, better as a summer blanket or bedspread, while a kantha quilt reads more as a stitched throw with a visible handmade surface.

Will the print look exactly like the photo on every piece?

Close, but not identical. Every sheet, dohar and quilt in this category is stamped by hand with carved wooden blocks in Jaipur, India, so tiny variations in block alignment, colour saturation and print register happen from piece to piece. This is characteristic of hand block printing rather than a flaw.
