The Ajrakh Craft
Ajrakh is a celebrated textile tradition associated with Kutch, Gujarat, known for its intricate geometric patterns, repeated motifs and rich colours. Artisans use hand-carved wooden blocks alongside a detailed process of printing, washing, drying and dyeing to create the depth and character of the textile.
The geometric floral design on this wallet reflects the symmetry and precision associated with Ajrakh. Because the textile is handmade, subtle variations in colour, print placement and texture are natural and give each wallet its individual character.
