description
A striking, contemporarised, printed, stole in the traditional Ajrakh printing technique that is said to be nearly 4,500 years old. Ajrakh is an ancient vegetable dyeing and resist block-printing technique done on cloth . The process of 'Ajrakh' is a long drawn process involving many stages of printing. Each layer of visible colour is printed after a gap of time so the cloth has time to to cure for the day,giving it it's unique name (aaj-rakh). Originating in Sindh, Pakistan, and presently crafted by artisans in Kutch, Ajrakh block printing uses motifs inspired by nature.
Kutch Craft Collective is a collaborative platform of 5 organizations from Kutch and was formed to revive the old crafts of Kutch, while creating livelihood opportunities for the artisan families.

It undertakes training, production, market support, and capacity building of craft enterprises in Mandvi & Mundra.
