Ahaana - Buddhi Threads Hand Block Printed Hankerchiefs

• Super soft 100% cotton
• Hand-printed with all-natural dye
• Exclusive Buddhi Threads design for a special touch

Ahaana means dawn, that quiet time just before the sun breaks. The word itself reminds us of that deep relief we get with a sigh. This 11th-century design was traditionally used in Gujarat and research has shown that this precious and in-demand print was exported from Gujarat to Egypt and Indonesia during the medieval period.

Our artisan printers in India retrieved this original design from an old textile book, and have revived it with stunning earthy tones, especially for Buddhi Threads

This multi-layered print involves multiple steps and 4 hand-carved blocks and a number of all-natural dyes.

Rust iron with tamarind seed powder lays the foundation. It is then topped with alum solution and finished off with an indigo print.
