What to know
Use this page as a map into Jaipur's textile traditions, from workshop visits to shopping streets and contemporary labels. A demonstration can make the printing process easier to understand. If you are buying, compare material and workmanship and ask whether the print is hand-blocked, screen-printed or made by another method.
Good to Know
Natural and synthetic dyes, fabric blends and print methods differ. Product labels and seller explanations are useful, but ask specific questions if a claim matters to you. Confirm workshop access in advance and seek permission before photographing craft workers. Care instructions help preserve colour and fabric after washing.
