The term “Chhipa” has been derived from the Gujrati word “Chhapa” meaning print. Originally thought to be a warrior clan, the Chhipa community hails from Nagaur in Rajasthan. Today, the community is concentrated in North Gujarat, Rajasthan, and in certain districts of Ahmedabad, Baroda, Nadiad, and Bharuch. The block printing that has put Indian textiles on the global map is a result of their hard work and creativity. Juxtaposed against the hustle and bustle of modern Rajasthan, the Chhipa community has managed to preserve the ancient art of block printing. And, they still use the traditional hand-carved block and natural dyes to print meters after meters of cotton fabric. This post is Kessa’s way to honor the Chhipa community who has brought global fame to the country with its mesmerizing handicraft. #chhipacollection #handblockprinted #handblockprintedfabric #handblockprintedtextiles #blockprintedbyhand #womenofindia #sheroes #chhipacollection #sustainablefashion #sustainableclothing #sustainablefashionbrand #sustainablefashionbrandindia #cottonfabric #shoplocal #localartisans #artisansofindia #streetsofindia #indianfashion #ancientindia #kessawear #Kessacustomer #kessa #kessacollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CLqk092peVD/?igshid=1ultg1goem2dw
