Vienna Dress

Mirth collaborates with a family of 7th generation master printers in Bagru, India to create our block printed fabric. Each part of the process of this ancient technique takes place in this community: hand  blocks out of wood, creating Azo-free dyes, hand printing the fabric, and washing and setting the final textiles.

The indigo fabric is hand block printed in small batches by the same family using natural indigo dye and the “dabu” printing method. Mud is stamped onto fabric to form a print. Then sawdust is applied to create a barrier before the fabric is dipped into a 12’ deep indigo vat. The indigo is mixed with other natural substances, like pomegranate, to achieve a vibrant blue color.
