Description

Perfect to bring on your next road trip, for a weekend getaway or just to brighten up your bathroom. Our quilted washbags are hand block printed and beautifully finished with handmade tassels and a contrast binding. Lined and filled with 100% cotton (no crunchy foam inside!), they are completely plastic free.
This print is inspired by the flowers of the Japanese apricot tree and our love of retro textiles, and comes in a gorgeous cornflower blue colourway.

When creating a woodblock print, the design is first traced onto translucent paper, to guide the block maker who then slowly carves it out of wood using a hammer and chisel. The printer then dips the blocks into a pad that holds the different dyes.
One block per colour is then stamped carefully and precisely by hand, to start building up the design, layer by layer.

Hello, I am Noa. During my career as a designer, I have travelled to India extensively and worked with iconic brands such as Anokhi, who introduced me to the wonders of block printing. I started ai.no.ah to celebrate craftsmanship, collaborating with artisans to create collections inspired by traditional crafts paired with contemporary sensibility. The focus behind the brand is on small-scale ethical production, creating sustainable, unique and beautiful styles.
