    • Authentic hand-crafted Ajrak distinguished by printing on both sides of the fabric and the natural variations that machine-made imitations cannot replicate

Each scarf represents countless hours of meticulous block-printing by skilled artisans using techniques passed down through generations. The intricate geometric patterns tell a story of cultural heritage while the chemical-free dyes honor age-old sustainable practices. Wear these pieces as a connection to this rich textile tradition and a celebration of the hands that keep this remarkable craft alive.
