Hand printed by artisans in India using carved wooden blocks on 100% cotton. Because it's all done by hand, no two pieces are exactly alike. Pair with a coordinating napkin set, sold separately.
Why Bloomezzo Feels Different
Most tablecloths are machine printed to look identical in a thousand homes, and made to be replaced within a season. Bloomezzo is made the other way. Every pattern begins with our own creative direction and is developed exclusively for us, then carved by hand into wooden blocks in India and printed one color at a time. Each run is small. No two pieces are exactly alike.
Frequently Asked Questions About Block Print Tablecloths
Our tablecloths come in a range of sizes, shown on each product page. Our sizes are the tablecloth, not the table: measure the top of your table, then choose how far you want the cloth to hang over each edge. The size checker in our Size Guide shows exactly how each size fits your table, or email info@bloomezzo.com and we'll help you choose.
All Bloomezzo tablecloths can be machine washed in cold water. Tumble dry low or line dry. Do not bleach. Wash separately for the first wash. A small amount of residual dye may release initially, which is normal.
The slight variation where one block repeat meets the next is a natural result of hand printing. Because a human being, not a machine, places each block by hand, perfect mechanical registration is neither possible nor the goal. This variation is considered a mark of authenticity. It is the visual proof that your tablecloth was made by hand.
With proper care, a hand block printed cotton tablecloth can last for decades. Cotton is durable and washable, and softens beautifully with use. Many families pass hand block printed textiles down across generations. They are the kind of objects that hold the memory of the occasions they dressed.
A hand block printed tablecloth makes a lasting gift, especially for someone who loves to host. It suits a wedding, a housewarming, or a milestone birthday, and it is the kind of thing that gets used for years rather than put away. The artisan story behind it, and the fact that no two are exactly alike, give it meaning beyond the object. Pair it with a coordinating napkin set for a complete gift.
A hand block printed tablecloth is made using a technique that is over 2,000 years old. Artisans hand-carve designs into solid wooden blocks, soak the blocks in oil for several weeks, then press each block into dye and stamp it onto 100% cotton fabric by hand, one color at a time. Between each layer, the fabric is washed and sun-dried in open air before the next color is applied. Because every step is done by hand, no two tablecloths are ever exactly alike. The slight variation in the block repeat is the hallmark of a genuine hand printed textile.
The number of blocks varies depending on the complexity of the design, ranging from several to well over a dozen, one for each color, outline, border, and design detail. The more intricate the pattern, the more blocks and time it takes. Each block is carved by hand and soaked in oil before printing begins.
Many Bloomezzo tablecloth designs have coordinating block print napkin sets available, sold separately. Choose the same design and colorway for a coordinated look, or mix complementary colorways for a more layered table. Because each piece is hand printed, slight variations in color and print placement are part of the charm of artisan textiles.
Yes. The botanical prints and hand-carved detail feel at home in boho, cottage core, and maximalist rooms, while the natural 100% cotton and artisan origin suit farmhouse, French country, and coastal spaces. Because each design is made for Bloomezzo and hand printed in small batches, a Bloomezzo cloth reads as collected rather than mass-produced, which is what lets it move easily between styles, seasons, and occasions. Start with the design you love. The right room tends to follow.
