Ajrakh × Appliqué · Unstitched Kurta Set · Rich Indigo

Two crafts, one set. Ajrakh hand-block print from Kutch meets Appliqué from Pipli — both GI-tagged, both rooted in generations of making.

The kurta fabric is cotton, naturally dyed and hand-block printed in the Ajrakh tradition — a deep indigo with geometric borders and classic buti motifs in off-white and rust. The ivory dupatta is handcrafted Appliqué: elephant motifs cut from dyed cotton and stitched by hand onto a soft base, sitting slightly raised off the cloth with visible texture and depth. Delicate tassels finish the border.

Supplied unstitched — full freedom to tailor the silhouette to your body. Pair with a churidar, palazzo, or straight trouser.
