Where the block meets the cloth
Six stages, all by hand, all under one roof in Jaipur.
From drawing to finished piece
Drawing
Each motif is drawn by hand and scaled to the panel it will sit on.
Block carving
Teak is cut by a family workshop — one block per colour in the design.
Printing
Dye is mixed in small batches; the block is stamped and aligned by eye across the cloth.
Washing & drying
Printed cotton is washed to set the colour, then sun dried on the roof.
Quilting
Three layers are quilted together for structure — no plastic core, no stiff lining.
Finishing
Reinforced handles, bound seams, lined pocket, and a final inspection before packing.
Structure without stiffness
Three quilted layers give a Qrubiss bag its shape. It stands up when full, folds flat when empty, and softens with every wash instead of creasing permanently.
Stitch density is set per style — tighter on totes that carry weight, looser on pouches that need to stay supple.
A few dozen, never a few thousand
We produce in short runs so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing is discounted into oblivion. When a block wears down, the print retires.
It makes planning harder and the pieces rarer. We think that is the right trade.
Checked four times, guaranteed for the lifetime of normal use
Cloth is inspected after printing, quilting, stitching and packing. If a seam, zip or handle ever fails, we repair, replace or refund.
