Ajrakh Collection

Ajrakh is one of India's oldest surviving textile traditions—a remarkable form of hand block printing practised for centuries in the Kutch region of Gujarat and parts of Sindh. The name Ajrakh is widely believed to derive from the Arabic word azraq, meaning blue, reflecting the deep indigo shades that have become the hallmark of this celebrated craft.

Every Ajrakh textile begins with carefully prepared natural fabric before passing through a meticulous multi-stage printing process using hand-carved wooden blocks and traditional natural dyes. Layer by layer, artisans create intricate geometric patterns, stars, floral motifs and repeating borders with extraordinary precision, patience and skill.

The Velunora Ajrakh Collection brings this timeless textile heritage into everyday life through handcrafted wallets and accessories that combine authentic craftsmanship with practical modern design. Every piece celebrates India's rich artisan traditions while offering a meaningful accessory designed to be used, treasured and admired for years to come.

Why Choose Ajrakh?

✦ Hand Block Printed

Every pattern is individually printed by hand using intricately carved wooden blocks. The subtle variations found in each piece are a hallmark of genuine artisan craftsmanship and make every wallet uniquely beautiful.

✦ Traditional Natural Dye Heritage

Ajrakh is celebrated for its rich palette inspired by nature, traditionally featuring deep indigo, madder red, iron black and earthy tones created through time-honoured dyeing techniques. These colours develop character over time, giving every piece its own distinctive patina.

✦ Small-Batch Craftsmanship

Ajrakh is created in limited batches rather than mass-produced. Each piece receives the care, precision and attention of skilled artisans who continue to preserve this remarkable textile tradition.

✦ Every Piece Is Unique

Because every stage of the printing process is completed by hand, no two Ajrakh pieces are ever exactly alike. Slight variations in colour, print alignment and texture are natural characteristics that celebrate authentic handmade craftsmanship.

✦ Handmade in India

Our Ajrakh accessories are handcrafted in India by skilled artisans inspired by one of the country's most respected textile traditions, preserving techniques that have been passed down through generations.

✦ Sustainable Artisan Production

Hand block printing is a slower, more thoughtful approach to textile production. Traditional techniques, natural fibres and careful craftsmanship help create beautiful accessories while supporting artisan communities and preserving cultural heritage.

Your Ajrakh wallet is crafted from natural silk or cotton and printed with traditional natural dyes. With a little care, it will age beautifully and remain part of your everyday life for years to come.

  • Spot clean gently with a damp cloth where possible
  • Hand wash in cool water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent where appropriate
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to help preserve the natural dye colours
  • Store flat or rolled — avoid folding along the same crease repeatedly
  • Iron on a low setting with a cloth between the iron and the fabric if needed

Natural dyes may show slight variation over time — this is a characteristic of authentic handmade textiles, not a defect.
