IMPORTANT– Traditional Ajraks whether ‘Table printed’ or ‘Block Printed’, give off slight polish when washed , especially in the first 2 washes. They should only be hand washed separately in a tub. For modern ajraks that do not bleed color polish, please see ‘Polyster ajraks’ and ‘Linen Ajraks’ in our store.

Market Trickery Alert– This Ajrak is Block Printed with hands using natural plant dyes. Please be aware that the ajraks usually being sold in shops in Pakistan are table prints. Barring few exceptions, all shopkeepers are deceiving customers by describing those as ‘Block printed’. Our web store has a range of cotton table printed ajraks which clearly specify as ‘table printed ones’. Their price range usually is under rs. 1,400. This is a premium hand block printed ajrak. Our natural dye block/hand printed ajrak range starts from Rs. 4,500 and goes upto rs. 20,000.
