A riot of colour, rooted in craft. Our Vibrant Patchwork Block Print Cotton Tote Bag is handmade from patchwork panels of hand block printed cotton — each panel featuring a different traditional Indian motif, from sacred animals and lotus flowers to geometric buti and paisley forms, pieced together in a bold, joyful palette of red, navy, mustard, and maroon.
Block printing is one of India’s oldest textile traditions — a craft where carved wooden blocks are pressed by hand onto fabric, one motif at a time, in a process that demands patience, precision, and skill. Patchwork brings these printed panels together, creating a bag where every section tells its own story and no two pieces are ever quite the same.
The result is a tote that is bold without being loud, handmade without being precious — a bag built for daily life and designed to be noticed.
For those who carry their joy in colour.
