Spot clean. MSRP: 110.00 The fabric was artisan-crafted in india by screen print, one of the earliest forms of creating images on cloth. Fabric is stretched flat, overlay-ed with a blocking stencil. A handmade screen is placed on top and a blade is moved across, pushing ink through to print the design. The cloth is then heated to bond the ink to fabric, setting color. It's a slow and meticulous craft process reguling skill and patience. The tassel on Chattra gear is like those seen on camels of Rajasthan's great Thar desert. Sanskrit for parasol, Chattra symbolizes dignity and protection.
