Details
Rajasthan's block printers have worked this pattern for centuries. The Desert Indigo Handmade Bagru Block Print Throw is a piece you'll reach for every day. Hand block-printed in the ancient Bagru tradition, each throw is crafted by skilled artisans using intricately carved wooden blocks and natural dyes: deep indigo from indigofera plants, rust red from madder root, iron black from rust and tannin. The fabric is prepared through a traditional mordanting process before printing, so the colours bond deeply with the cotton and age beautifully over time.
The result is a textile that is quietly beautiful: earthy, grounded, and full of handmade character. Look closely and you'll see the soft, slightly fuzzy edges of each block stamp — a hallmark of authentic hand printing — and the gentle variation in ink depth that no machine can replicate. No two pieces are ever identical. These are not mass-produced — they are made slowly, by hand, in the way they always have been.

Woven Cotton, Made by Hand
Bagru is a village outside Jaipur with a centuries-old tradition of working with cloth. A Bagru throw is woven cotton — plain-weave, single layer, flat and breathable. The patterns are bold and the colours are earthy, rooted in a palette that has defined this region's textiles for generations.
It is not a quilt or a heavy blanket. It does not have filling or stitching. It is simply a well-made woven cotton throw with a strong pattern; the kind of thing that works on a sofa, at the end of a bed, or over your shoulders on a cool evening.
"Woven cotton from a village that has been making cloth for centuries. The pattern is bold. The hand is soft. That is all it needs to be."
