When the summer sun begins to shine bright, our wardrobes naturally shift towards pieces that feel light, breezy, and full of life. Among all the must-have summer staples, one timeless essential stands out for its versatility and charm—the sarong. Easy to wear, endlessly adaptable, and always stylish, a sarong perfectly captures the carefree spirit of summer dressing.
At CraftJaipur, we believe that effortless style begins with comfort and authenticity. That’s exactly what our hand-block printed cotton sarongs bring to your summer wardrobe. Whether you’re heading for a beach vacation, spending a lazy afternoon by the pool, or dressing up for a casual day out, a block print sarong is your perfect companion.
The Art and Heritage Behind Block Print Sarongs
Every sarong from CraftJaipur carries the soul of Rajasthan’s artisanal heritage. Our block print sarongs are created using traditional hand-block printing techniques that date back centuries. Skilled artisans carve intricate designs onto wooden blocks, dip them into natural dyes, and stamp them by hand onto fine cotton fabric.
The process is slow, mindful, and deeply artistic—each piece tells a story of craftsmanship passed down through generations. The small imperfections and variations in print only add to the charm, making every sarong wrap unique.
Our prints often take inspiration from Jaipur’s architecture, flora, and folk art. The result is a vibrant mix of patterns—paisleys, florals, and geometric motifs that instantly transport you to the heart of Rajasthan.
Why Cotton Sarongs Are a Summer Essential
In the summer, there’s no fabric more reliable than cotton. Soft, breathable, and naturally cooling, cotton is made for warm weather. A cotton sarong allows your skin to breathe, keeps you comfortable through the day, and dries quickly after a dip in the sea or pool.
Unlike synthetic materials that can trap heat, cotton flows effortlessly, giving your outfit a relaxed and natural feel. Whether you’re wearing it as a beach sarong or as a casual wrap while exploring a coastal town, it keeps you feeling fresh and stylish.
And since CraftJaipur uses 100% pure cotton and eco-friendly dyes, our sarongs are not only kind to your skin but also gentle on the environment.
More Than a Beach Accessory
Traditionally, sarongs were seen as beach cover-ups—something to tie around your waist after a swim. But modern styling has taken the humble sarong much further. Today, it’s an essential piece that goes beyond the beach and seamlessly fits into your everyday wardrobe.
Here are some of the many ways you can style your sarong wrap:
-
Classic Beach Look – Tie your sarong around your waist or hips as a beach sarong. It’s the easiest way to go from the water to lunch without changing outfits.
-
As a Dress – Wrap it around your body, knot it behind your neck, and you have a chic, flowy sundress perfect for vacation evenings.
-
Layered Wrap – Use it as a shawl or stole when the sun sets. The light cotton fabric drapes beautifully over any outfit.
-
Head Wrap or Turban – Add a touch of bohemian flair by tying your sarong around your head. It’s stylish and practical for keeping your hair in place.
-
Scarf or Dupatta – Pair it with your jeans and top or even with a kurta for a fusion look that feels fresh and artistic.
A sarong cover-up is truly a blank canvas—you can style it differently each time you wear it, depending on your mood and occasion.
From Beach to Brunch: The Versatility of a Sarong
What makes sarongs so special is their effortless adaptability. Heading for a beach holiday? Pack two or three block print sarongs and you’re sorted for the entire trip. They take up minimal space in your bag and can double as scarves, wraps, skirts, or even picnic throws.
For city days, pair your sarong with a white tank top and slip-on sandals for a relaxed summer look. Tie it over linen trousers for a layered, artsy vibe. Even in the evenings, a sarong cover-up can add a hint of elegance—just throw it over your shoulders with a pair of statement earrings.
Fashion is moving towards mindful choices—buying less but wearing more. A sarong fits perfectly into that philosophy. One piece, endless possibilities.

Care Tips for Your Sarong
To keep your CraftJaipur sarong looking beautiful season after season:
