Ajrakh Saree · Charcoal Black with Gold & Olive Medallions

Block by block. Dip by dip. Ajrakh is one of India's oldest living print traditions — born in the salt flats of Kutch, built through up to fourteen natural-dye steps over several days.

This saree is set on a charcoal-black base with hand-block printed floral medallions, geometric jaals, and fine border detailing in muted gold and olive tones. The pallu is richly layered with dense patterning, finished with delicate tassels for graceful movement. The blouse piece complements with a contrasting geometric pattern of dots and checks in off-white against the dark base — a modern visual counterpoint.

Wash Care
First wash · Soak alone in cold water with one tablespoon of salt for 20 minutes to set the natural dyes.
Ongoing · Hand wash cold, mild detergent, wash darks alone. Do not machine wash, bleach, or wring.
Dry · in shade, flat or wide hanger. Direct sunlight fades natural dyes over time.
Iron · medium heat, reverse side, while slightly damp.
Colour note · Slight variation between pieces is inherent to natural dyeing — not a defect.
