Introducing a bandana with a coffee motif using the ancient woodblock printing technique of Japur in West India. At Teebom, we roast our own fair trade and organic coffee beans and provide them to our customers, so we made the fabric based on the image of the shop.
My business partner, Syamala, took care of the coordination in India. It is a wonderful fabric that you can feel the heartfelt and careful work of all the people involved in the creation of this product.
To make a wood block print, a woodblock maker first hand-carves an illustration of coffee on an ebony block of about 12 cm square, and then a dying craftsman carefully presses the woodblock one by one and dyes it. It's a daunting and steady work, but when you pick up the fabric, you can truly feel the handiwork. Please enjoy the shade of ink and slight deviation of blocks.
Then, with the woodblock, we will color the fabric. By the way, it takes only about two weeks to dye a fabric that is 140 centimeters wide × 100 meters! Hats off to the concentration and skill of the craftsmen!
