House notes

In the maker's hand

Inspired by India's textile heritage, the Riwaayat Earrings turn traditional block prints into something you can wear. Each pair carries a handcrafted pattern finished with delicate ghungroo detailing, so there is a small movement and a smaller sound with every step.

Light enough to forget you have them on, they sit as easily with a handloom saree as with a contemporary kurta or an everyday cotton dress. Each print tells a different story, which makes every pair its own thing while staying unmistakably House of Falguni.

Seven prints, one of each. Made by hand in small batches in Ahmedabad.

The Story

Riwaayat means tradition, and specifically the kind carried by practice rather than written down. No block-printer learns the work from a manual. They learn by standing beside someone who already knows how hard to press, how wet the dye should be, and exactly where the next block has to land.

That last part is the whole craft. A pattern is built by pressing a carved wooden block again and again across a length of cloth, lining each impression up against the last by eye. Get it right and the repeat reads continuous. Get it fractionally wrong and you see a faint doubling at the seam, which is how you tell a hand-printed cloth from a machine-printed one at a glance. The doubling is not the mistake. It is the evidence.

Against that we set the ghungroo, the small bell a Kathak dancer ties in rows at the ankle so that movement can be heard as well as seen. Each one is tied on by hand, one at a time. Put the two together and you get an object with two registers, a print you look at and a sound you catch when you turn your head. Handcrafted in Ahmedabad, in seven prints that each read differently.

Care
  • Last thing on, first thing off, keep away from water, perfume, lotion and sweat.
  • Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after each wear.
  • Store in a dry pouch or box, kept separate so pieces don’t scratch or tangle.
  • Fabric, kundan and ghungroo pieces: never wet; keep away from moisture.

Each piece is handcrafted, so tiny differences in colour and finish are expected and make yours one of a kind.
