Montevideo – Cotton Linen Block Print

from $26.00

Inspired by the street tiles of Montevideo (a memory from a childhood trip), this fabric captures the rhythm of urban geometry in two stunning shades of blue. The block cutouts pay homage to my Abuela’s vintage Pyrex while blending nostalgic warmth with a modern Scandinavian design aesthetic that I adore.

Block printed in India by skilled local artisans, each square is lovingly stamped by hand, making every yard uniquely special. Each tile measures 17.78 cm x 17.78 cm (7" x 7”). This cotton-linen blend is crafted with care, perfect for adding a timeless, artistic touch to your wardrobe. Whether it’s a flowing dress or a tailored pants, this fabric will have everyone asking you where you got it!

Our fabric is sold by the yard in fixed length options (1 to 4 yards).

cARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Hand wash OR wash on a delicate cycle, separately in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent.

Do not soak for long periods, as this may cause colors to bleed.

Avoid wringing or twisting—gently squeeze out excess water.

Line dry in the shade to preserve color vibrancy.

Do not bleach or tumble dry.

Expect some irregularities—these are signs of the hand-printing process and part of the fabric's unique character.

A Note on Scent:

Some fabrics may carry a light scent from the artisanal printing and finishing processes in India — a trace of the environment they were created in. It's the smell of ink, earth, and time — of workshops filled with carved wooden blocks and sun-dried cloth. This scent is completely natural and will fade with a bit of air or the first wash, but we like to think of it as a little whisper from where the fabric began.
