Ajrakh is an ancient textile art of quiet grandeur, born in the desert landscapes of Kutch and the royal terrains of Rajasthan. Celebrated for its hypnotic geometry and profound natural hues of indigo, madder red, and deep black, Ajrakh embodies timeless sophistication and artisanal mastery.
Rooted in the heritage of the Khatri artisan community, this revered craft traces its origins to Sindh and later flourished across Gujarat and the historic desert town of Barmer. Each Ajrakh creation is patiently brought to life through hand-carved wooden blocks and an elaborate, eco-conscious process that relies solely on botanical dyes—indigo for luminous blues, madder root for rich reds, pomegranate and turmeric for golden yellows, and iron with jaggery for deep blacks.
Among its distinguished traditions are Kachchhi Ajrakh, Barmeri Ajrakh, and Sindhi Ajrakh, each celebrated for its own refined techniques and visual language. Kachchhi Ajrakh, in particular, is renowned for its intricate symmetry and the multiple, painstaking stages of printing and dyeing that lend the fabric its unmatched depth and character.
Reimagined into a luxury tie, Ajrakh transforms centuries of craftsmanship into a contemporary statement of elegance—where heritage, sustainability, and refined style meet in perfect harmony.
