ABOUT US

Palm Print transforms hand block printing into a medium for memory, resistance and dignity.
Every print carries a story. Every story carries a movement.

THE QUESTION THAT STARTED PALM PRINT

If textiles could celebrate kings, courts, victories and ornamentation.

 

We asked oueselves-

 

If fabric could carry royal histories,

why couldn’t they also carry stories of equality and resistance?

ABSENCE IN TRADITIONAL TEXTILE HISTORY

Traditional patterns documented privilege.


Floral motifs dominated visual culture.
Marginalised histories rarely entered textile design.

Palm Print exists to create space for those stories.

WHY MAHAD?

The Mahad movement was not just about water.
It was about visibility, dignity and equal human access.

Symbols within the CHAWDAR PRINT:

  • Footsteps of thousands

  • The fight for water

  • Dignity & equal rights

  • A movement that continue

THE CRAFT. THE STRUGGLE. THE CONNECTION.

The making of Mahad Print mirrors the story itself — difficult, layered, slow and persistent.

Discharge dyeing on dark fabric is a hit-and-miss process.
It demands patience, instinct, and an unwillingness to give up.

Discharge paste is prepared.

Block is printed with discharge paste.

Fabric is placed in steamer.

After steaming the colour starts to lift.

We check the shade after first steam.

If not the right shade, we re-print corrections.

Steamed again until the right shade appears. 

Finally dried in shade to set print.
