Paisley: The Timeless Teardrop Motif
Paisley is a classic and elegant print, recognized by its curved teardrop-shaped motifs, known as "boteh" or
"mango" designs. Originating in Persia and India, this intricate pattern symbolizes growth, fertility, and eternity. The design gained global popularity during the Mughal era and was later embraced by European textile
industries, particularly in Scotland’s town of Paisley, which gave it its name.
In Sanganeri prints, Paisley motifs are delicately hand-block printed with floral and vine-like embellishments, often in vibrant hues. These prints reflect the rich heritage of Rajasthani craftsmanship, combining traditional aesthetics with modern sensibilities. Whether adorning ethnic wear or contemporary fashion, Paisley remains a symbol of sophistication and timeless
beauty.

Ikat: The Art of Blurred Elegance
Ikat is a unique dyeing and weaving technique known for its characteristic blurred patterns and vibrant color combinations. Unlike block printing, Ikat designs are created by resist-dyeing
the yarns before they are woven into fabric. This intricate process results in soft, feathered edges, giving the print a distinct artistic appeal. Originating in India, Indonesia, and Central Asia, Ikat has been cherished for centuries for its craftsmanship and rich textures.
In Sanganeri prints, Ikat-inspired motifs are meticulously hand-block printed to capture the essence of this traditional technique. These prints blend geometric and abstract patterns, often in earthy and bold tones, making them versatile for both ethnic and contemporary wear.
At Huesfab, we reimagine Ikat within the
Sanganeri tradition, offering a fresh take on this age-old artistry. Our collection reflects the seamless fusion of heritage and modern design, creating ffortlessly stylish and timeless apparel.
Leheriya: The Flowing Waves of Rajasthan
Leheriya is a traditional tie-dye
technique from Rajasthan, celebrated for its distinctive diagonal wave-like
patterns. The word "Leheriya" comes from the Hindi word "Lehar," meaning waves, symbolizing fluidity and movement. Created using a resist-dyeing method, fabrics are tightly rolled and tied before being dyed in vibrant colors, resulting in mesmerizing, rippling stripes. Historically favored by Rajasthani royalty, Leheriya remains a timeless expression of artistic heritage.
In Sanganeri prints, Leheriya-inspired motifs are recreated through hand-block printing, maintaining the essence of this age-old craft while offering more intricate detailing and a broader color palette. These prints blend tradition with modern aesthetics, making them perfect for both casual and festive wear.
At Huesfab, we celebrate the beauty of Leheriya by incorporating its rhythmic patterns into our Sanganeri collection,

Floral Prints: A Blooming Tradition of Elegance
Floral prints have been an integral part of textile artistry for centuries, symbolizing nature’s beauty, freshness, and timeless charm. In Indian hand-block printing, floral motifs hold a special place, often inspired by Mughal gardens and traditional Rajasthani aesthetics. Sanganeri printing, in particular, is renowned for its delicate, finely detailed floral patterns, typically printed in vibrant hues on soft, pastel backgrounds.
In Sanganeri prints, flowers, vines, and leafy motifs are meticulously hand-block printed, creating an intricate interplay of elegance and sophistication. These prints exude a light, airy feel, making them perfect for all seasons and versatile for both casual and festive attire.

Bandhej: The Art of Tie & Dye Splendor
Bandhej, also known as Bandhani, is a traditional tie-dye technique originating from Gujarat and Rajasthan. The name
"Bandhej" comes from the Sanskrit word "Bandh," meaning "to tie." This meticulous process involves tying small sections of fabric with thread before dyeing, creating intricate dotted patterns, swirls, and waves. The result is a vibrant and textured fabric that embodies cultural richness and heritage.
In Sanganeri prints, Bandhej-inspired motifs are reimagined through hand-block printing, replicating the characteristic dotted patterns with precision. These prints retain the lively essence of Bandhej while offering a refined, contemporary appeal. The combination of Sanganeri craftsmanship with Bandhej aesthetics creates a unique fusion of tradition and modernity.

Khadi : The Art of Raised Elegance
Khadi print is a unique block-printing technique that gives designs a slightly raised, textured feel, resembling an engraved effect on fabric. Unlike traditional flat prints, Khadi printing uses a thick pigment paste that sits atop the fabric, creating a subtle 3D effect. This technique enhances intricate motifs, making patterns appear more prominent and visually striking.
In Sanganeri printing, Khadi prints are often used to highlight delicate floral, paisley, and geometric designs. The raised texture adds depth and richness, making the prints stand out beautifully on both light and dark fabrics. Traditionally done in white or gold on pastel or vibrant backgrounds, Khadi printing brings a touch of luxury and heritage to textiles.
At Huesfab, we embrace this exquisite technique, incorporating Khadi prints into our Sanganeri collection. The result is a blend of tradition and contemporary elegance, offering designs that are both visually and texturally captivating.
Animal Prints: A Wild Touch of Tradition
Animal prints have been a part of textile art for centuries, inspired by nature and mythology. In traditional Sanganeri printing, animal motifs such as elephants, peacocks, camels, and horses are commonly featured, symbolizing strength, grace, and cultural heritage. These motifs are often intricately hand-block printed with fine detailing, creating a lively and artistic
representation of wildlife.
Unlike modern animal prints that mimic fur or skin patterns, Indian animal prints are more stylized, often combined with floral and geometric elements to create balanced and decorative compositions. The use of natural dyes and vibrant colors enhances the charm of these prints, making them perfect for ethnic and contemporary wear alike.
At Huesfab, we take inspiration from traditional animal prints and blend them with Sanganeri craftsmanship to create unique and timeless designs. Each piece reflects the beauty of nature, celebrating India's artistic legacy in a modern and wearable form.
Ajrakh: The Timeless Art of Symmetry andTradition
Ajrakh is a centuries-old block-printing technique originating from Gujarat and Sindh, known for its intricate geometric and floral patterns. Traditionally crafted using natural dyes, Ajrakh prints feature deep shades of indigo, red, black, and white, symbolizing elements of nature. The printing process involves multiple stages of resist-dyeing, making it one of the most complex and time-honored textile arts in India.
In Sanganeri printing, Ajrakh-inspired motifs are reimagined using hand-block printing, maintaining the essence of its symmetrical patterns while incorporating softer, more delicate floral elements. The fusion of these two techniques results in a unique and versatile fabric that blends heritage with contemporary appeal.
