Bawari Skirt Saras Crane Blue

The Bawari Skirt is a flowing, midi-length silhouette with an elasticated waist and side pockets. This version carries the Saras Crane motif — depicting India's tallest flying bird, associated with the wetland habitats of Rajasthan — block-printed by hand in Jaipur in cool indigo and slate tones on a pale cotton ground. The pattern repeats across the cloth in a measured, rhythmic arrangement. Named for the bawari, the ancient stepwells that are one of Rajasthan's most remarkable architectural forms.

Care instructions

• Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water
• Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent; avoid bleach and harsh chemicals
• Do not soak for extended periods
• Dry flat in the shade — direct sunlight may fade block-printed fabrics over time
• Iron on a medium heat on the reverse side
• Minor colour and pattern variation is natural to hand block printing and part of its character
