Sanganeri Print

Sanganeri Print is a centuries-old hand block-printing tradition originating in Sanganer, a town near Jaipur. Renowned for its fine floral motifs on white or pastel backgrounds, the craft uses hand-carved wooden blocks and natural dyes including indigo, lac, and turmeric. The distinctive feature is its delicate, repeating floral and paisley patterns that convey elegance and refinement. GI-tagged to protect the genuine craft, Sanganeri Print became internationally famous through its adoption by European textile designers in the 18th century.

There are 4 key markers of authenticity: Slight misalignment of repeat patterns visible under close inspection — machine prints are perfectly aligned — Visible wood grain texture embedded in the print where the block surface has natural grain — Colour bleeds fractionally along fabric weave lines — digital and screen prints have hard edges — The back of the fabric shows faint colour penetration — genuine block prints seep through the weave

Sanganeri Print originates from rajasthan, specifically the cities of Jaipur. It carries a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, protecting the authentic craft tradition.
