Ajrak Mirror Work Saree in Brick Red | Hand Block Printed | Daaraa Silks

Ajrak Mirror Work Saree in Brick Red

A brick red saree hand block printed in the Ajrak tradition of Kutch, Gujarat, and hand-embellished with mirror (shisha) work that catches the light with movement. Warm and festive, it's built for weddings and cultural celebrations. Made in Modal fabric, this saree is 6.3 metres in length and comes with a matching blouse piece.

The Craft

Ajrak is a traditional hand block-printing technique from the Kutch and Sindh region, built up in layers using hand-carved wooden blocks and natural dyes to create the deep, geometric motifs seen on this saree. The mirror work is a separate hand-embellishment step — small mirrors (shisha) are stitched into the print by hand, adding shimmer without overpowering the block-printed pattern.

Occasion

Well-suited for weddings, festive gatherings and cultural events, given the rich brick red tone and the mirror detailing.

Care

Dry clean recommended. Do not wring or tumble dry. Store folded in a muslin cloth, away from direct sunlight.

Good to Know

This saree is handcrafted using traditional block printing and hand embellishment, so small variations in print placement, colour tone and mirror positioning are part of the handmade process, not a defect. Screen colours may also vary slightly from the actual product — each piece is unique.
