Ever since our first collab in 2017, we’ve been obsessed with designer Sarah Zellweger’s one-of-a-kind block prints, created with local artisans in Jaipur, India. Our latest capsule features breezy, warm weather picks in vibrant prints inspired by the centuries-old technique. Learn how it all came together with Sarah and her SZ Blockprints partner Yuva Rae-Gurbaxani…

“Block printing is in my DNA. I’m a third-generation block printer from one of the oldest civilizations in the world. We are a community, not a factory. My home in Jaipur is on the same ancestral land as the workshop—there are no borders.”

This drop is filled with spring energy! The India-inspired prints feel alive and fresh—they and colors transport you into the center of a mega bloom.

Woodblock printing dates back to the 7th century. We carve out blocks for each color in a design, and each printer can do about 10 meters of fabric a day. It’s the very definition of slow fashion.

The rose print is one of the key prints in this collaboration, and it requires incredible precision to make. It embodies the craft of block print in its most abundant form.
