“Dabu printing for kids kurtas makes them look awesome...”

Daboo is a black mud found in few river beds of India.  It involves two artisans out of which, one’s job is to keep stamping and other guy helps in mixing and adding lime water to get the required consistency right for printing. This mud with other natural substances is labourously made into a smooth paste. This paste is used in printing. Daboo acts like a resist in printing similar to wax printing in Batik print. This paste has a shelf life of only one day. Thus every day in the morning artisans prepare this paste as much required. This art is unique because nowhere in the world is this process carried out other than India.
We at Veda help support and encourage good craftsmanship. In our endeavor to keep this ancient rare art of printing alive, our team is working on creating contemporary designs in a quest to generate demand in turn empowering our artisans get a quality livelihood. After extensive research and visits to small pockets of villages around India, we noticed that this art which used to be passed on from generations to generation is slowly fading off. Today’s youth was not interested to continue this exquisite art forward. Thus we took this as a challenge to not just sustain this art but also created an immense demand for it and initialized with kurtasfor kids, men, and women.
