The Unseen, The Untold — Exclusive Prints

At Manngiri, every print begins long before it reaches fabric. It starts quietly — with conversations, scattered sketches, half-formed ideas, and a shared feeling that something new wants to emerge. These are the unseen moments. The untold stories behind every exclusive print we create.

In a world overflowing with patterns, standing out isn’t about being louder — it’s about being more intentional. Our process of creating prints is slow, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in collaboration. We don’t chase trends; we listen — to nature, to craft, to each other.

It usually begins with brainstorming sessions that feel less like meetings and more like open dialogues. There’s chai on the table, references spread across the room, and a free flow of ideas — motifs inspired by forgotten craft, architecture, old textiles, travel memories, or even a fleeting mood. No idea is too small. Sometimes, the most beautiful prints come from the most unexpected conversations.

From there, we sample relentlessly. A motif may be drawn and redrawn multiple times before it feels right. Scale, spacing, rhythm — every detail matters. In block printing, a slight shift can completely change the story the fabric tells. We test colors repeatedly, watching how natural dyes interact with the cloth, how they soften, deepen, or surprise us once washed and worn.

What truly sets Manngiri apart is our respect for the process over perfection. Each block is hand-carved, carrying the subtle irregularities that make it alive. Each print bears the imprint of human touch — something no machine can replicate. These imperfections are not flaws; they are signatures of authenticity.

Standing out in the market today often means producing faster, copying more, and simplifying craft. We choose the opposite. We choose to slow down, to develop prints that don’t already exist, and to create collections that feel intimate rather than mass-produced. Our exclusivity doesn’t come from limitation — it comes from intention.

Every Manngiri print tells a quiet story. Of artisans who have mastered their craft over generations. Of designers who obsess over details no one may consciously notice — but everyone feels. Of time spent experimenting, failing, refining, and finally arriving at something that feels true.

“The Unseen, The Untold” is our way of honoring those invisible hours — the sampling tables covered in ink, the trial fabrics pinned to walls, the blocks that didn’t make it, and the ones that did. It’s about celebrating the journey behind the fabric you wear.

When you choose a Manngiri print, you’re not just choosing a design. You’re choosing a story — thoughtfully imagined, lovingly crafted, and quietly distinct. And that, to us, is what makes a print truly exclusive.
