Originating in small artisan villages of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, this intricate process dates back over 3,000 years. Each piece is hand-printed or hand-painted using natural dyes extracted from plants, roots, and minerals, and requires meticulous attention over a span of 15–23 days to complete. From preparing the fabric with natural mordants, to block-printing and hand detailing, to repeated washing and sun-drying, the craftsmanship reflects a generational skill passed down through families. The result is a textile rich in history, artistry, and timeless beauty. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/admin.shopify.com\/store\/tzt0kh-dg\/pages\/169410527307\" title=\"The story of Kalamkari\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn more \u003c\/a\u003eabout the time we spent in India exploring this craft and bringing these pillows to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pasqual McDermott","offers":[{"title":"Pillow cover only","offer_id":42356231503947,"sku":null,"price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With feather insert","offer_id":42356231536715,"sku":null,"price":163.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/3035\/7323\/files\/IMG-9342.png?v=1779742132","url":"https:\/\/pasqualmcdermott.com\/products\/meera-long-lumbar","provider":"Pasqual McDermott","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
