About
Welcome to Dabu – where tradition meets fashion with a purpose. At Dabu, we specialize in block-printed jackets, a timeless piece of craftsmanship that tells the story of generations of artisans from Rajasthan, India. The term Dabu refers to a traditional, eco-friendly printing technique, using hand-carved wooden blocks to create intricate patterns on fabric, often dyed with natural, locally-sourced colors. This ancient art has been passed down through centuries, and our jackets are a tribute to this rich cultural heritage.
But Dabu is more than just a business. Our mission is to honor the artisans behind these beautiful pieces by sourcing directly from their communities, ensuring fair compensation for their labor and skills. We believe in empowering the hands that create, and that's why a portion of the profit from every jacket sold goes towards charities focused on female empowerment in India.
We want to make a difference—not just in fashion, but in the lives of those who create it. By supporting our work, you're contributing to the upliftment of local communities, especially women, by helping provide resources, education, and opportunities that make a lasting impact.
