Red Orange Block Design, Hand Dyed Batik Tie-up, 100% Cotton Kaftan - K060

Red Orange Block Design, Hand Dyed Batik Tie-up, 100% Cotton Kaftan - K060Red and orange block shapes arranged across the cloth bold, warm, and geometric. The two colours sit close in temperature but read distinctly, the orange carrying brightness and the red anchoring it with depth. Block design batik uses larger wax areas to create the pattern, which means the dye has more open cloth to settle into. Where the blocks meet the undyed ground, the edges carry the characteristic softness of hand applied wax nothing ruler

Where the two meet at shared edges

Bright yellow with bold palm leaf shapes — the yellow ground is warm and open

and the slight variation across the cloth that comes with hand-dyeing gives it an interest that a plain-dyed piece wouldn't have

more spread arrangement than some of the other florals — the blooms have more white ground between them

What looks effortless represents a great deal of patient work

Bright and breezy

structured feel

Full Length Kaftans comes in a classic Tie-up style

this kaftan gets its character from thread rather than dye

the edges are soft where the wax lifted — that faint halo is the mark of the hand

geometric quality that the shaded and dotted pieces in the range don't have
