Red Cotton Ajrakh Printed Jacket

Cambric cotton, quilted in a diamond grid, gives this jacket its structure, with a hand block floral print running through in a repeat. Cut in a straight silhouette with a round neck and full sleeves, it closes down the front with a contrast trim at the welt pockets and cuffs. Wear it open over a black top and denims, or buttoned up for a day out, keeping the sleeves rolled to the cuff trim.

Craft Details

A unique resist printing technique, Ajrakh uses natural dyes to create intricate patterns with multiple overlays of colour. Considered to be one of the most demanding hand block-print techniques in the world, the traditional colours found in this thirteen step process include jewel tones of red, indigo, black and white. This craft has its roots in Kutch, Barmer and Sindh.
