Batik is a wax-resist dyeing technique. Although Batik originated in Indonesia, it found its way into India as early as the first century AD through various trade and cultural routes. It is now widely practiced in the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Bengal and Andhra Pradesh
The Ajrak Inspired Collection
Ajrak is also a resist block dyeing technique, wherein a wooden block with intricate designs, such as the geometric Mandala motif, is dipped in a resist to create the designs on fabric. The fabric is then dipped in a vat of (natural) dye, to create the vibrant fabrics. This collection features a mandala motif pattern in blue and white, a color combination that has a timeless, global appeal.
