A dense floral jaal in indigo and madder spreads across the black body of this Ajrakh dolla silk saree, every bloom stamped by hand with a Kutch block. The jaal covers the ground without a break, which is why the drape reads so rich in movement. Gold zari elephants march along the border and across the pallu, the elephant standing for majesty and good fortune. The silk threads shine softly as the pleats sway. A regal choice for weddings, receptions and Diwali nights.

The craft
Ajrakh Dola Silk
Dola silk is a smooth, lustrous silk favoured in Kutch for pieces that need more shine than modal can give. On it the Khatri printers of Ajrakhpur lay the same sixteen stage Ajrakh process they have practised for generations, resist printing with lime and gum and dyeing in madder root, fermented indigo and iron black, washing the cloth between every round. The printed body is then paired with a woven zari border and pallu, so the saree carries hand printed Ajrakh geometry alongside the glow of gold. It is the festive end of the Ajrakh tradition.
