Dabu Floral Jaal Print Hand Block Printed Cotton Long Wallet

Rooted in the mud and earth of Rajasthan. Our Dabu Floral Jaal Print Hand Block Printed Cotton Long Wallet is crafted from pure cotton and hand block printed using the ancient Dabu technique — a mud-resist printing tradition from Rajasthan where natural clay resist is applied by hand before the fabric is dyed, creating the characteristic soft, earthy patterns that have defined this craft for generations.

The Jaal — meaning ‘net’ or ‘lattice’ in Hindi — is one of the most beloved motifs in Indian block print tradition. Here it takes the form of a flowing, all-over floral lattice, where blooms and leaves interlock in a repeating pattern that is both intricate and deeply calming. Each wallet is block printed by hand, meaning every piece carries the subtle variations of the artisan’s touch.

For those who find beauty in the slow and the handmade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Dabu printing?
A: Dabu is an ancient mud-resist block printing technique from Rajasthan, India. Artisans apply a natural clay resist to the fabric by hand before dyeing, which prevents the dye from penetrating certain areas and creates the characteristic soft, earthy patterns associated with this craft.

Q: What is a Jaal motif?
A: Jaal means ‘net’ or ‘lattice’ in Hindi. In Indian textile tradition, a Jaal motif refers to an all-over repeating pattern — in this case, an interlocking floral and leaf lattice that covers the entire surface of the wallet.

Q: Is each wallet truly unique?
A: Yes — every wallet is individually hand block printed, meaning subtle variations in the print are a natural and celebrated part of the craft.

Q: How should I care for the wallet?
