Sufiyan Ismail Khatri uses traditional Ajrakh crafts to create hand-printed and naturally-dyed fabrics such as scarves, shawls, rugs, and tablecloths. Ajrakh's craft is over 4000 years old. Some traditional textiles have been found in the ruins of the city of Fostat in Egypt. Khatri comes from the Khatri community. Khatri means printer and the community is made up of artisans who do Ajrakh printing and natural dyeing. His ancestors practiced this technique on the banks of the Indus River in Sindh. For them, the ajrakh is a way of life and a means of learning. A unique feature of Ajrakh is a resist printing technique that uses gum arabic and lime paste on hand-carved blocks of wood, as well as the skillful use of wood stains and natural dyes to create natural gem-like shades that retain color.
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.

What is Ajrakh printing?
Ajrakh is a resist-printing craft from Kutch, Gujarat. It uses indigo and madder root dyes in a 16-step process. The Khatri community has practiced it for over 400 years. It holds a GI tag.
How is Ajrakh printing done?
The fabric goes through repeated rounds of resist application, dyeing, washing, and sun-drying. Artisans use carved teak blocks and a mud-lime resist paste. A single piece takes up to two weeks to complete.
How can I tell if my Ajrakh product is genuinely block printed?
Look for slight irregularities in the pattern. block prints are never perfectly symmetrical. The reverse side shows faint ink marks. These small imperfections confirm it's hand-stamped, not machine-made.
Why do Ajrakh prints look slightly different from each other?
Each impression is placed by hand. Block pressure, ink amount, and fabric texture create natural variations. Two pieces from the same batch will look similar but never identical.
How should I wash Ajrakh printed products?
First wash in cold water with a pinch of salt to set the dye. Always hand wash or gentle machine cycle. Dry in shade. direct sun can shift natural dye colors over time.
What does Chanderi Silk feel like?
Chanderi Silk has a smooth, cool-to-touch surface with a natural sheen. It drapes elegantly and feels light against the skin. The texture becomes softer with gentle use over time.
How do I wash Chanderi Silk products?
Dry clean is safest for Chanderi Silk. If hand washing, use cold water and a mild silk-specific detergent. Never wring. Roll in a towel to absorb moisture, then dry flat in shade.
Is Chanderi Silk suitable for summer or winter?
Chanderi Silk works across seasons. It feels cool in summer and retains warmth in winter. The natural temperature regulation of silk makes it comfortable year-round in Indian climates.
How durable is Chanderi Silk?
With proper care, Chanderi Silk products last for years. The fibre is naturally strong. Avoid rough handling, direct sun, and chemical detergents. Gentle care keeps it looking fresh long-term.
Why is Chanderi Silk priced higher than cotton?
Silk production is labour-intensive. from rearing silkworms to reeling the thread. Chanderi Silk involves additional regional techniques that add time and skill. The price reflects the material and the maker's effort.
