To ensure that your beautiful piece looking fresh and vibrant for many seasons to come we recommend following these simple care instructions:
Gentle Cold Wash - immerse your blouse in cold water and gently hand wash it. If a washing machine is used, cold gentle cycle is recommended.
Air Dry in the Shade - after washing, avoid wringing out the pants to preserve the delicate embroidery and lay your blouse flat or hang it to air dry in a shaded area to prevent fading and protect the fabric from the harsh effects of direct sunlight.
Avoid Harsh Detergents - to preserve the integrity of the colors and material, opt for mild, gentle pH-neutral detergents that are suitable for delicate fabrics.

The Ajrakh Collection is a collaboration work between The ANJELMS Project and Suffyian Khatri.
Cultural Significance - Ajrakh is a remarkable textile art form with a history spanning 4,500 years, distinguished by its intricate, double-sided hand block printing and resist dyeing techniques. This traditional craft primarily employs natural dyes sourced from plants, such as indigo and madder. The Ajrakh's complex and intricate process is meticulous and involves multiple stages, with each layer of color being block printed a day apart while utilizing a variety of hand blocks to create a unique custom block print that is then repeated across the fabric, resulting in stunning and detailed textile masterpieces.
Support Artisan Craftsmanship - with every Ajrakh piece, you’re not only making a conscious choice to support artisan craftsmanship and sustainable fashion practices but your choice will also contributes directly to the empowerment of Suffyian & his community in their journey of preserving their rich cultural heritage that honor people, tradition and the planet.
