Ajrak Mirror Work Saree in Indigo Blue
A deep indigo blue saree hand block printed in the Ajrak tradition of Kutch, with contrasting motifs and hand-stitched mirror (shisha) work catching the light. Made in Modal fabric, it measures 6.3 metres and comes with a matching blouse piece.
The Craft
Ajrak block printing uses hand-carved wooden blocks and natural indigo-based dyes, built up in layers to create the geometric motifs on this saree. The mirror work is a separate hand-embellishment step, with small shisha mirrors stitched into the print for shimmer against the deep blue ground.
Occasion
Well-suited for festive and cultural celebrations, ethnic weddings and receptions, and versatile enough for elegant daytime wear too.
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 hand block printed and hand-embellished, 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.
