Here is a sneak peek of our upcoming block print patterns for Spring 2026! Block printing is one of the earliest methods of printing textiles. Hand-carved wooden blocks transfer designs onto cloth via the hands of skilled craftsmen. This is a generational skill, and as such, it is both highly valuable and steeped in tradition, but also disappearing, as new generations move to other occupations.  Handblock printing is a slow process, each color demanding a different block, and skillfully setting one block on another.  The printing blocks are hand-carved from wood with fantastic botanicals and simple floral and geometric motifs, called Butis. Each print is composed of 5-7 blocks. The dyed fabric is laid over long tables, so it stays flat during the stamping and drying processes. The results are unique, artistic, and have an original quality to them. No two pieces are identical. For April Cornell, most of our block printing is done in the Desert state of Rajasthan, a state known for its crafts and art. We block print both in Jaipur and Barmeer. Barmeer specializes in indigo and plant-based dyes. Jaipur in more colorful prints. You can see this beloved craft throughout our apparel and linens designs, like the Indigo Mori Dress, Lexi Block Print Throw, Quilted Crossbody Bag, and more!
