The Art of Block Printing
Block printing is one of the oldest and most beautiful forms of textile art and one of India’s greatest contributions to the world of craft. At House of Soham, we honour this tradition by working with skilled artisans who bring every pattern to life by hand.
Using hand-carved wooden blocks, natural or pigment-based dyes, and slow, thoughtful technique, each print is created one block at a time. We use both discharge and pigment printing methods to achieve rich patterns inspired by nature, everyday beauty, and traditional Indian motifs.
What makes block printing truly special are its small, human imperfections the slight shift of a block or a soft fade in tone that give each piece its unique character. No two prints are exactly the same, and that’s the beauty of it.
By choosing block printed fabric, you're not just choosing design you're supporting heritage, skilled hands, and a slower, more meaningful way of making.

Block Printing Backstory
The Art That Leaves a Lasting Impression
Block printing is one of the oldest textile traditions in the world — and one of India’s most enduring gifts to craftsmanship. At House of Soham, we honour this timeless art by keeping it alive in its purest form. Using hand-carved wooden blocks, natural dyes, and generations of inherited skill, our artisans create intricate motifs and delicate patterns, one print at a time.
The beauty of block printing lies in its imperfections — the slight variations in print, the subtle differences in color — which make each piece truly one of a kind. It’s a slow, meditative process that cannot be rushed, reminding us of the value of patience and the human touch in a world of mass production.
By supporting block printing, you’re not just wearing a pattern — you’re wearing heritage. You’re helping preserve a craft, empower artisan communities, and invest in fashion that’s rich in story and soul.
