HANDCRAFTED PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
HANDCRAFTED PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
All products are handcrafted using traditional techniques including hand block printing and Mughal miniature painting.
The purchaser acknowledges that:
- Slight variations in colour, texture, registration, spacing and alignment are inherent to handmade processes.
- Small irregularities and natural inconsistencies are part of authentic craftsmanship.
- Variations caused by natural fibres, dyes and environmental conditions are normal.
- Colour and texture differences may also occur due to photography, screen settings and digital displays.
These characteristics are not defects and contribute to the individuality of each piece.
