We love this pretty Emile et Ida baby bonnet with a cherry pattern, which was made by hand using the traditional “blockprint” artisanal technique.
The “blocks” are hand-engraved wooden stamps. You need a different stamp for each color of the pattern. After spreading the fabrics on long wooden tables, each color is applied by hand, one after the other. This technique requires a lot of precision.
The crush is lined with fine cotton lace, and decorated with embroidery representing a bird tasting cherries, perched on a branch. It ties under the chin thanks to its two ties.
Made in India.
