Ajrakh-Inspired Silk Satin Kimono
£695.00
Free delivery and returns within UK
Description
This lovely silk satin kimono features a geometrical print that is inspired by a block-printing technique called 'Ajrakh'. The technique originated centuries ago and is still practiced by artisan communities in the Kutch desert of India.
In keeping with our philosophy, we have reinterpreted the traditional motifs to create a modern print with subtle Eastern overtones. Narrow lapels are complemented by beautifully detailed sleeves that incorporate loops and fabric ties. The jacket comes with a tonal fabric belt and can be worn both belted and loose. Combine with matching trousers for an elegant and very distinctive look.
Model is 5 feet 9 inches / 175 cm and wears UK Size 6.

Techniques & Inspiration
'Ajrakh' is an extremely complex, artisanal technique of woodblock printing and resist dyeing that dates back as early as 2000 BC with the Indus Valley civilisation. A living craft, it continues to be practiced in the desert regions of Sindh in Pakistan and Kutch in Western India.
This contemporary bespoke fabric has been designed in Varana's own studio and woven with motifs inspired by the 'Ajrakh' technique.
