Chhipa Print N Crafts

Our shop, Chhipa Print N Crafts, is located at 3994 Chandpole Bazar, right by Maddu Vatika and near Nahargarh Road. If you know the bazar, you know it’s a tight squeeze with lots of people and noise everywhere. We spend our days surrounded by fabric, woodblocks, and the smell of various dyes. It’s a messy business, but we’ve been doing it this way for a long time. Our hands are usually stained with some color or another by the time we close up for the night. We do a lot of traditional printing and craft work, mostly stuff that people use for clothing or decorating their homes. It’s not like a modern factory where everything is perfect and identical. Since we do a lot of things by hand, you’ll see little differences in the patterns, which is just how it goes with this kind of work. The shop is small and packed to the ceiling with rolls of cloth and finished pieces. People come in to see what we’ve been working on, and sometimes we just chat about the weather while we show them around. We don't have a website that looks like it belongs to a big brand because we’re just local folks keeping the old ways of printing alive. It’s hard on the back and the eyes, but there’s a certain satisfaction in seeing a finished piece of cloth that looks just right.
