About Ajrakh Ajrakh is printed in up to sixteen stages of resist, mordant and dye – indigo, madder red, black – with geometric and floral blocks that read the same on both faces of the cloth. It is one of the oldest block-print traditions in India, made by the Khatri community of Kutch and Sindh. Cold wash separately the first time; the colours deepen and soften with wear. Wear it with Ajrakh kurtas with plain cotton palazzos ; Ajrakh blouses with cotton linen sarees ; oxidised jhumkas and Kolhapuris . Men’s Ajrakh: Ajrakh shirts . Other crafts: hand block , Kalamkari , Ikkat . FAQs Is this real Ajrakh? Yes – hand block printed Ajrakh on cotton; the print appears on both sides of the fabric, which screen prints cannot do. Does Ajrakh fade? It mellows slightly over the first few washes and then holds; wash cold, inside out, in shade. Can I return Ajrakh clothing? Yes, unused with tags within the return window; see the returns policy .
