Ajrak Block Print Mirror Work Saree – Black
Bold and graphic, this black saree is hand block printed in the traditional Ajrak style of Kutch and finished with hand-stitched mirror (shisha) work that shimmers with every movement. Made in Modal fabric, it measures 6.3 metres and comes with a matching blouse piece.
The Craft
Ajrak block printing is done with hand-carved wooden blocks and natural dyes, built up in layers to create sharp, geometric motifs — here set against a rich black ground. The mirror work is added separately by hand: small mirrors stitched into the print to catch the light.
Occasion
A statement piece for festive and formal celebrations, ethnic weddings, receptions and evening cultural events.
Care
Dry clean recommended. Do not wring or tumble dry. Store folded in a muslin cloth, away from direct sunlight.
Good to Know
Because this saree is hand block printed and hand-embellished, small variations in print placement, colour tone and mirror positioning are part of the handmade process, not a defect. Screen colours may vary slightly from the actual product — each piece is unique.
