Hello everyone,

So, how are you all? I am fine and hope the same for you guys!

So guys today I am here to share about some beautiful HAND BLOCK PRINTED SAREE.

Recently I have received this beautiful pure hand block printed saree from Unnati Silks.

Mr. Devendra Gopal Ladha is the CEO and Managing Director of Unnati Silks Prints Pvt. Ltd. In 1980, Mr. Ladha started his journey with a single minded effort and a small room in Hyderabad. Since then associated with talented master weavers in ethnic fabrics across India. With a strong team of 200 plus workers, he has added landmarks like offline stores at Hyderabad, added a manufacturing unit, printing units, an online website.

Unnati Silks ia a saga of 'HANDLOOMS FOR WOMEN' that began in 1980. Three decades hence it has transformed from a single shop entity to become a family enterprise with extended arms and global operations. Customer - Centric that it is, Unnati Silks anticipates, innovates and provides with a strong belief that each and every costumer is special and requires that something, which is unique, refreshing, fashionable and of quality.

An experience of three decades plus in silk and cotton textiles Unnati Silks has carved out a niche presence for itself in being the manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer & exporter of genuine silk cotton handlooms like sarees, salwar suits, kurtas, kurtis and other Indian ethnic fabrics. This has thereby created for it, a sizable domestic market from across the country and overseas.

Having a product range that is as varied as it is vast, handwoven and handcrafted, the devotion and dedication of talented ethnic artisans from across 21 states of India comes through in the products on display. Having the Handloom Mark and Silk Mark for most of its products, Unnati's costumers are assured a legitimate backing too, despite being guaranteed original handloom products from the start.

So fam this is the HAND BLOCK PRINTED SAREE I got from Unnati Silks!

I love the colour combination of this saree. It is so beautiful.

Let me tell you something about block printing!

WHAT IS BLOCK PRINTING?

Block printing is making use of a carved piece of wood or any other type of wooden block to imprint an image on fabric or paper. Today the process of block printing is popularly associated with making designs on fabrics by printing on them, with the help of a block made for that purpose. In the early days of printing , it was used to print entire books. 

WHY IS BLOCK PRINTING POPULAR?

- It has simplicity and ease of execution.

- There is the sharpness, accuracy and fine detailing of prints made on the fabrics.

- The huge possibilities of match and mix of different block designs in various colours on the same fabric as in large canvas fabrics like the saree and salwar kameez is stupendous. A large number of wooden blocks are always kept in readiness for used based on the intended patterns and designs.

- Creating a new block with a new design is fairly quick and easy.

- Blocks are of good quality wood and so they have durability. Metallic blocks are sometimes used but maneuverability limits their use compared to wooden blocks.

- Intricate and sharp detailing for complicated designs can be etched out in the blocks which is possible only in these wooden blocks. Accessories like hair brushes are used for filling in the blank areas between outlines of the design.

- A point on the block serves as a guide for the repeat impression, so that the whole effect is continuous and not disjoint.

- The extensive choice of colours make the designs vibrant and fresh-feel. 

- Block prints and brush prints having been tried out successfully on fabrics like cotton, silk, sico and others.

HISTORY OF BLOCK PRINTING!

There is archaeological evidence that an early form of block printing on textiles existed in India as far back as 3000 BCE, during the period of the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation. It was not until the 12th century that the traditional art of block printing began to flourish. The states of Gujrat and Rajasthan are particularly renowned for manufacturing and exporting magnificent printed cotton fabrics. The art is not traditional to eastern India and was introduced to West Bengal in the 1940s. Highly skilled local craftsmen quickly mastered the textile art form.

Today, as in the past, the main hubs for the manufacture and export of block printed fabrics and garments are Ahmedabad, Surat and the Kutch district in Gujrat and Jaipur, Bagru and the Barmer district in Rajasthan. Today, Serampore city in West Bengal continues to be prominent in the production of block printed silk sarees and fabrics.
