FAQ

Why does the color vary between photos and the piece I receive?

Every piece is dyed and hand block-printed in small batches using natural pigments. The exact shade can shift slightly depending on humidity, the specific batch of dye, and how the fabric was dried. This isn't a defect — it's a normal result of the process, and it's part of why no two pieces are ever quite identical.

Will my exact print placement match the product photo?

Not exactly. Each length of fabric is stamped by hand, one motif at a time, so the placement of the print on your specific garment may sit slightly differently than in photos. The overall pattern and colorway stay consistent — the exact positioning does not.

How do I care for a hand block-printed piece?

Hand wash separately in cold water, dry in shade rather than direct sun, and iron on a warm setting if needed. This helps the natural dye hold its color over time.

What sizes do you carry?

Most styles run S through 2XL, with some through 3XL. If you're between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up for a relaxed fit. Email us at info@threadsofgulab.com and we're happy to help you pick a size.

Who makes these pieces?

Artisan block printers and tailors based in and around Jaipur, India — most of whom are women. We work directly with them rather than through an intermediary.
