2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship
The Dabu Hand Block Print traces its roots to the arid villages of Rajasthan, where generations of Chippa artisans have perfected this eco-friendly resist-dyeing technique using natural clays, gum, and lime. “Dabu” comes from the local word dabanna—to press—referring to how wooden blocks imprint mud paste onto fabric before dyeing. Our Cotton Indigo Dabu Saree honors this 400-year-old craft, blending heritage with modern elegance. At Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi, we collaborate directly with artisan clusters to ensure fair wages and sustainable practices—so every drape tells a story of culture, care, and conscious luxury.
