Material
Multicolor ajrakh fabric by artisan Sufiyan Ismail Khatri is crafted using natural-dyeing and resist block-printing techniques. This ancient craft is estimated to be around 4,500 years old. The Ajrakh artisans in India originally migrated from Sindh to the Kutch region of Gujarat and to Barmer in Rajasthan. Ajrakh is also the traditional attire of the Maldhari pastoral community of Bhuj. The process is long and detailed, involving multiple stages where each layer of colour is printed only after a resting period, allowing the cloth to absorb the dye fully. Made from velvet and viscose blend, it is ideal for creating kurtas, shirts, dresses or even home decor items.
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
Dry clean only.

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 Velvet feel like?
Velvet has a dense, plush pile you can feel when you run your fingers across it. It is soft, warm, and rich to the touch. The surface catches light differently from each angle.
How do I wash Velvet products?
Hand wash in cold water with mild wool detergent. Do not twist or wring. Lay flat on a towel to dry. Dry cleaning is recommended for heavily embroidered velvet pieces.
Is Velvet suitable only for winter?
Primarily, yes. Velvet works best in cool and cold weather. Lighter velvet pieces can work in air-conditioned indoor settings. It's not suitable for peak summer use.
How do I store Velvet products in off-season?
Clean before storing. Fold and place in a breathable cotton bag. Add neem leaves or naphthalene to prevent moths. Store in a dry, dark cupboard. Check every few months.
Does Velvet pill or shed?
Some pilling is normal with wool and wool-blend fabrics in early use. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver. After the initial period, the surface stabilizes and pilling reduces.
