Behind this piece
Dehradun sits at the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayas, where the craft of block and screen printing on cotton has long been practised by artisan communities who draw their vocabulary of motifs from the surrounding forests, rivers, and folk traditions. Pure cotton, breathable and honest, has been the fabric of everyday India for centuries. These small sling bags carry that unhurried sensibility into a contemporary form: printed cloth shaped into something useful, something you carry close. Each lot of three means you wear a different face of the same story every day.
How to style
Wear the boldest print in the set with a white mul-cotton kurta and flat Kolhapuri chappals for a relaxed weekend morning. Loop a quieter, smaller-motif bag across a handloom linen co-ord for a casual lunch. On evenings out, pair the most graphic of the three over a block-printed chanderi dupatta draped as a top, with oxidised silver earrings and juttis in a contrasting tone. Because these bags are compact, they balance beautifully against fuller silhouettes: anarkalis, gathered skirts, wide-leg palazzos. Let the bag be the punctuation, not the sentence.
Fabric & care
Hand wash each bag separately in cool water with a gentle, pH-neutral detergent to preserve the printed colours. Avoid soaking for longer than ten minutes, as prolonged immersion can loosen dye on printed cotton. Do not wring; instead, press water out gently and dry flat in shade to prevent the cotton from distorting. Iron on a medium setting while slightly damp, on the reverse side, to maintain print clarity. Store in a breathable cloth pouch rather than plastic. Treated with this care, pure cotton holds its character beautifully across many seasons of regular use.
