Each scarf represents a living heritage craft practiced by artisans from the Sindh region of Pakistan, where Ajrak has been a symbol of cultural identity for centuries
Created through an intricate multi-stage process including saaj (removing starch), kasano (mordanting with myrobalan), resist printing, indigo dyeing, and rang (alizarine dyeing for red areas)
Authentic hand-crafted Ajrak distinguished by printing on both sides of the fabric and the natural variations that machine-made imitations cannot replicate

Wear these pieces as a connection to this rich textile tradition and a celebration of the hands that keep this remarkable craft alive.
