Roni Jaco was kind enough to share with us some pictures taken by her daughter, Ryan, during their trip to Gujarat. The women met with the Khatri family, a multi-generational group well known for their traditional block-printed textiles.
While there, Roni watched the hand-printing process, soaked in the rich colors and patterns, and in the end purchased an assortment of tablecloths and bedspreads. Here you can learn much more about her travels and the finds she brings back for her online shop, The Loaded Trunk.

You are a true kindred spirit and I thank you for writing about the Khatri family and one of my more memorable experiences in India.
Thank you,

I loved seeing a behind the scenes glimpse of how these textiles are created. Thanks so much for this inspiring post!
Those are beautifully printed textiles. They have such skillful hands. I guess talent runs in the family.
Gorgeous! Very interesting to see the reverse form block prints. Awesome post, the photographs are excellent. Thanks for a great read!
