One of India’s most beloved motifs, carried with you every day. Our Kairi Buta Print Hand Block Printed Cotton Long Wallet is crafted from pure cotton and hand block printed with the iconic Kairi — the mango or paisley motif that has been woven, printed, and embroidered into Indian textiles for centuries.
Kairi, meaning ‘raw mango’ in Hindi, is the teardrop-shaped motif that forms the basis of the paisley pattern known worldwide. In Indian textile tradition it appears across Kashmiri shawls, Rajasthani block prints, Banarasi weaves, and Kantha embroidery — always carrying with it a sense of abundance, fertility, and the richness of the subcontinent’s craft heritage.
Here it is rendered as a Buta — a single, repeating sprig motif — hand block printed on pure cotton in the traditional manner. Each wallet carries the subtle warmth of the artisan’s hand.
For those who carry their heritage with quiet pride.
