Tops & Blouses

The edit runs from easy block print blouses for the office to embroidered statement tops for evenings out. Tuck one into tailored pants with gold jewelry for work, or wear it loose over jeans on a day off.

Printed slowly, worn on repeat

Every top is printed or stitched by hand, small irregularities included; they are the signatures of the maker, not flaws to be fixed. The blocks are carved in Jaipur, the colors mixed by eye, and a printed blouse passes through the printer's hands once for every color in its pattern before it is cut and sewn.

Prints run in small batches; when a blouse sells through, that's usually the last of it. Browse our skirts for coordinating block print separates, our dresses for one-and-done artisan styles, or our accessories for the finishing touch.

Block print tops - common questions

How should I care for a block print blouse? Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and similar colors, or hand wash if you prefer. Dry it out of direct sun to keep the print bright.

Are your tops made sustainably? Each top is made in small batches by artisans in Jaipur, using hand techniques - block printing with carved wooden blocks or hand embroidery - on natural cotton and linen. Slow production means less waste, and a craft kept alive.

What do I wear with a block print top? Jeans and flats on the weekend, tailored pants and a blazer at work, or one of our block print skirts for head-to-toe print. Keep the jewelry simple and let the pattern do the talking.

Can I wear a block print top when it's cooler out? Yes. Layer a long-sleeve blouse under a cardigan or one of our quilted jackets; cotton and linen breathe, so you stay comfortable indoors and out.
