Relive the Gypsy Life with Arcadian Ajrak

 If you are someone who wants to stand out in the crowd and experiment with your wardrobe every season, then Ajrak prints are a must for you this season. These fresh prints beautifully done in natural dyeing colours will not only add bliss to your outfit but would also help you ditch synthetic colours and reconcile with the environment. The glory of this ancient Sindhi art rests in the highly contrasting hues and an enchanting fusion of the Mughal inspired nakshatras and floral patterns.

If you relate yourself to power and strength the shades of crimson red will add panache to your daily wear. The hues of indigo blue signifying trust and tranquility balance the design and represent a fascinating combination of inner and outer human peculiarities. 

A Reminiscence of the Mughal Era & Sindhi Heritage

Inspired by the Mughal and Sindhi culture, Ajrak designs are a magnificent depiction of age-old Indian heritage and culture. The designs are mostly immersed in hues of indigo (indigo blue) and madder (crimson red), with extremely polarized outline patterns. The highly contrasting hues of black and white reveal a sense of detailing in every motif designed.

Ajrak is unique in its own way! The prints are dappled with a fusion of sky elements and nature, ruled by dense patterns and no continual extensions, and hence can stick out a mile from a fabric collective.

Improvising Ajrak prints on a range of fabrics 

When it comes to designs and fabrics experimentation is an everlasting process. The beauty of this ancient block-printing technique rests in its flexibility and ability to be adopted by any sort of fabric. Apart from mainstream cotton, Ajrak can be crafted on a wide range of fabrics like Mashru and Modal Silk. Each fabric has its own uniqueness and aesthetic approach.

Mashru Silk is a dynamic fabric made from a blend of few cotton and majorly silk yarns. It has a silky look on the outer side and a comfy cotton touch on the inside. A great fall and a starry shine make Ajrak prints emerge in a magnificent way. Being in a heavy fabric, Ajrak prints on Mashru Silk are best suited for ethnic jackets and palazzo pants.

Another kind of fabric that goes really well with Ajrak is a blended knitted fabric known as Modal Silk. With soft, shiny and highly lustrous characteristics, this fabric compliments the bold and vibrant Ajrak designs. Whether its gowns, palazzos or kurtis this super flowy fabric gives you great experimenting opportunities to work on!
