Ajrakh × Appliqué · Unstitched Kurta Set · Indigo

Two crafts, one set. Ajrakh hand-block print from the salt flats of Kutch meets Appliqué from the ateliers of 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, inky indigo with geometric borders and buti motifs in off-white and black. The dupatta is handcrafted Appliqué: motifs cut from dyed cotton and stitched by hand onto a soft base, sitting slightly raised off the cloth with visible texture and depth.

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