Block Printing is a craft of sophisticated precision.

A designer outlines and colours a new print design onto paper. They carefully draw the design within a 7” square (the size can vary) and ensure that the print layout will flawlessly repeat over metres of fabric.

Next – The block craver seamlessly carves the drawing into wood, creating a different block for each element of the design, which also represents each colour. Each block fitting neatly into the other.

And then – Our Block Printers set up a small cart for each colour and firstly they print the outline over a length of fabric. They then ‘fill’ the print with colour by using a different block for each colour of the design. This all combines to make the whole.

And it is this enduring textile art behind every Kilol print.

It is this tradition that you are investing in when you purchase a Kilol outfit.

The craft of many human hands, layered in perfect imperfection and full of character and life.
