Our new "Block Printed Slit Kaftan" is made by hand - using hand blocked printing which is an old printing technique worth saving as far as we are concerned. Lotta has always designed clothes honoring old handicrafts and block printing has been a huge part of our collection for a long time & we are VERY excited to offer our customers some more handmade earthy items again. 

This Slit Kaftan is made in a very soft cotton that with each wash will just get softer and softer over time, fast becoming that favorite item for those that LOVE SOFT fabrics. The shape is an easy fit and one size.

The Slit Kaftan is 55" long. The item is Made in LA from the handmade fabric and we can custom the length if you need it shorter. Allow for 4 days in making plus transit time.

History: 

Lotta Stensson's cotton & silk prints are printed using wood blocks carved by skilled carvers. This old printing technique starts with each block being hand carved from seasoned teak wood according to Lottas drawings & designs, that is soaked in oil for 15-20 days to soften the grain in the timber. It takes experienced artisans several days to print & make the fabric for one of our designs. Block printing and Batiking to name a few of the hand processes, are passed down from generations and is a dying art we  hope to help preserve.
