Description

Hand block printed, creating sustainable livelihoods for female artisans.

I am very excited to introduce the Reversible Waistcoat in the irresistible Sunflower Dabu block print and faux sheepskin. The perfect seasonless companion that offers versatile styling at all times of the year.
 
Features include a wooden button front and two front pockets on both sides. Designed with a relaxed fit for added comfort.
 
50% Soft, light cotton.
50% Recycled polyester faux fur. 
Plant-based dyes.

Model is 5'8 tall, size UK 10, US 6 and is wearing the size medium.
Waistcoat is paired with our Fisherwoman's Jumper.

I just love the simplicity of Dabu block printing. This mud-resist method uses black clay, wheat flour, gum and lime water to make the print that resists the dying process to reveal the desired shape. Our sunflower design is freeform and abstract, offering a truly unique print that is to be treasured.  
 
For more information on the ancient process of Dabu block printing, please visit our block printing page. This mud-resist method of block printing is my favourite kind of textile production.

The block printing process is all done by the artisan's hand - natural imperfections are part of the beauty and craft.

Just lovely!

Just received my Sunflower Dabu waistcoat and it just made me smile!
Beautifully made and beautifully cosy. Thank you to Banjaara for giving me the opportunity to use my money in such a way. I get something lovely to wear whilst knowing my money benefits the planet, rural marginalised women and a small local business, what could be better!

Lovely waistcoat.

This was very well made and great value but unfortunately it didn’t fit so I had to return. All done remarkably smoothly.
