The Story
The Story
One of India’s most beloved motifs, carried with you every day. Our Kairi Buta Print Hand Block Printed Cotton Long Wallet is crafted from pure cotton and hand block printed with the iconic Kairi — the mango or paisley motif that has been woven, printed, and embroidered into Indian textiles for centuries.
Kairi, meaning ‘raw mango’ in Hindi, is the teardrop-shaped motif that forms the basis of the paisley pattern known worldwide. In Indian textile tradition it appears across Kashmiri shawls, Rajasthani block prints, Banarasi weaves, and Kantha embroidery — always carrying with it a sense of abundance, fertility, and the richness of the subcontinent’s craft heritage.
Here it is rendered as a Buta — a single, repeating sprig motif — hand block printed on pure cotton in the traditional manner. Each wallet carries the subtle warmth of the artisan’s hand.
For those who carry their heritage with quiet pride.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this wallet handmade?
This Ajrakh silk wallet is handmade by skilled Indian artisans using traditional textile techniques. Because it is artisan-made rather than mass-produced, each wallet reflects the care, craftsmanship and character of the maker.
What is the wallet made from?
This wallet is crafted using Ajrakh-printed silk fabric, selected for its distinctive pattern, rich colour and traditional character. The textile is combined with practical wallet construction to create an accessory that is both heritage-inspired and suitable for everyday use.
What is Ajrakh?
Ajrakh is a traditional Indian textile printing craft known for its intricate geometric patterns, deep natural-inspired colours and repeated hand-block printing techniques. It has a long history in the Kutch region of Gujarat and neighbouring areas. Each Ajrakh textile carries the character of a skilled and time-intensive craft tradition.
Is this wallet suitable for everyday use?
Yes. The wallet is designed for everyday essentials while adding a distinctive artisan touch to your accessories. It is suitable for carrying items such as cards, cash and other small essentials, depending on the individual wallet's design and capacity.
How should I care for the silk wallet?
To help preserve the silk fabric and printed design, keep the wallet dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth when necessary. Do not machine wash, bleach or tumble dry. Store it in a dry place when not in use.
Will my wallet look exactly like the photographs?
Not necessarily. As this is an artisan-made product using traditional textile techniques, slight variations in colour, pattern placement and texture may occur. These natural differences are part of the character of handmade textiles and mean that each wallet has its own individual appearance.
