Material
Ajrakh handloom cotton medium kaftan is crafted using traditional natural-dyeing and resist block-printing techniques practiced for generations in the Kutch region. Ajrakh is an ancient craft estimated to be nearly 4,500 years old, known for its deep, earthy colours and geometric layouts. The printing process is long and intricate, involving multiple stages of washing, dyeing, and resist application. It also includes a shibori tie-dye pattern on the fabric. Designed in a comfortable kaftan silhouette, it comes with tassels, offering a relaxed fit and airy drape, making it ideal for everyday wear, lounging, or casual outings.
A Note on Handmade Beauty: Each piece is hand block printed and dyed using natural colors over a slow process of 15–20 days. As a result, you may notice slight variations in color, mild pigment smudges or irregular dye patterns, these are not defects. They’re gentle marks of authenticity, proudly bearing the touch of human hands, heritage, and nature’s own palette. Wear them like a signature, because no two pieces are ever alike.
Care
Gentle hand wash separately in cold water with mild/liquid detergents, excess natural colours may bleed when washed for the first time. Avoid soaking for too long.
Colour
Slight difference in colour from the visible product image is possible.

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.

How do I pick the right size for kaftans?
Every product page has a size chart with bust, waist, hip, and length measurements in inches and centimetres. Measure a garment that fits you well and compare with our chart.
Is this ready to wear or do I need to get it stitched?
Our kaftans are ready to wear unless the listing says 'unstitched.' Stitched pieces ship as-is. Unstitched pieces need a tailor. we include measurement guidance where needed.
What is the fit like. loose, regular, or slim?
The fit type is noted on every product page. Most of our kaftans have a relaxed, comfortable fit. If you prefer a closer fit, consider going one size down.
Can I machine wash this?
We recommend hand washing for the first 2-3 washes. After that, gentle machine wash works for most cotton and blended kaftans. Silk and embroidered pieces need hand wash only.
Will this work for office wear?
Solid-colour or subtle-print kaftans in cotton or linen work well as smart-casual office wear. Bolder prints and heavier embroidery suit events. Check the product images for versatility.
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 Cotton feel like?
Cotton feels soft, breathable, and familiar against skin. Handloom cotton has a slight irregularity you can feel with your fingertips . tiny slubs that machine-made fabric lacks.
How do I wash Cotton products?
Hand wash or gentle machine cycle in cold water. Use mild detergent. Cotton can shrink 3-5% in the first wash. that's normal. Air dry in shade for best color retention.
Is Cotton suitable for all seasons?
Cotton breathes well in hot weather and layers comfortably in winter. It's one of the most versatile fabrics across Indian seasons. Lighter weaves suit summer; denser ones work in cooler months.
How durable is Cotton?
Cotton is one of the most durable natural fabrics. It holds up well to regular washing and daily wear. Handloom cotton often outlasts its machine-made counterparts.
What makes handloom Cotton different from mul cotton?
Handloom Cotton has a distinct texture. slightly uneven, with a softer hand-feel. It's woven on manual looms with natural yarn tension. Mill cotton is uniform but lacks that organic character.
