Cotton Hand block printing is a highly work-intensive Indian heritage craft. Individual patterns skilfully carved into wooden blocks are used to apply natural dyes or paint precisely to the surface. Layers of detail, colour and texture develop into a distinctive textile achieved by intense personal attention.
Slight variations are exclusive characteristics.
Wash gently in cold water using a mild detergent.
The Namaste Journey
In 1995, in search of some adventure, founder Sam Brummitt flew to Kathmandu, Nepal with a round-the-world ticket. After an inspirational trek to Mount Everest base camp, followed by 6 months circumnavigating the Indian Subcontinent on re-conditioned ex Indian Army Enfield Bullets and sleeping under the stars at the side of the road, the idea for the business slowly developed. Fuelled by a conversation one day in Rajasthan with the owner of a small textile business and now lifelong friend and a key supplier, Ganpat suggested Sam came back home and started a business.
Starting a business meant earning a living while putting something back into such a beautiful and wonderful part of the world and that’s exactly what happened. Namaste, translated as ‘I greet the spirit within you’ was founded in 1997.
