Ajrakh by Jabbar Khatri
Verified Partner
Jabbar Khatri was born into the traditional Khatri family in Dhamdka, a small village in Gujarat. While his grandfather was originally a block printer, his father left this traditional work due to an irregular income. The demand for traditional craft work fell as the Indian economy opened its doors to new markets a few decades ago. Because of this, many craftsmen, like Jabbar Khatri's father, left their traditional work to work in factories. Jabbar Khatri was also sent off to Mumbai to work in a retail store after he finished studying for his 10th grade exams. Growing up in the rural landscapes of Kutch, Jabbar Bhai did not enjoy working in an urban environment. The distance from his community, the isolated work environment in a bustling city, and the lack of an independent identity were breaking him each day, piece by piece. After much contemplation, Jabbar Bhai made the decision to move back home. He joined a Euro tile factory in his hometown for a few years before the unit closed down and left him unemployed. Jabbarbhai felt that it was best that he returned to his ancestral work of block printing, which would soon turn out to be a profitable business for him. Since he was not a skilled artisan, he trained under a few well-known block printers to master the craft and understand the market. Finally, in 2015, he started his own Ajrakh printing and dyeing unit. Today, Jabbar Bhai is an independent artisan with a small team of ten craftsmen. He works with both cotton and silk materials and makes garments, accessories, and home furnishings out of them.
Ajrakh is a well-known traditional vegetable dyeing that resists block-printing techniques on cloth. Originated in Kutch, It is nearly around 4,500 years old practised by Khatri community of Kutch and Sikh.

For those of you using a 44-inch wide fabric, this guide suggests measurements for a standard L Size. Think of this as your starting point. If you're working with different sizes or fabric widths, just adjust up or down accordingly. Hope this helps!
When it comes to how much fabric you'll need, it really depends on the design. We'd recommend having a chat with your designer or tailor before you order, just to be on the safe side.
