Dune Bloom Shirt – Hand-Block Printed with Madder and Indigo
A fusion of old-world craftsmanship and contemporary style, the Dune Bloom Shirt is made using the ancient Ajrakh printing method, a multi-stage technique that requires the alchemic knowledge of natural dyeing, passed down through generations. Crafted on a base of organic Fairtrade cotton, this breathable, lightweight shirt carries the depth of tradition, with the essence of Ajrakh printed into every fibre.
Each piece is printed using a finely carved wooden block, allowing for exceptional detail in the floral design of delicate branches and blossoms. The soft, naturally dyed background enhances the intricate motifs, while madder root and indigo dyes add depth and contrast. The fabric undergoes a slow, natural process of washing, boiling, and sun-drying to set the colours naturally. The result is a beautifully detailed textile that embodies true Ajrakh craftsmanship. Finished with handmade coconut buttons, a straight cut hem, and an offset top button for a relaxed yet refined finish, complementing its naturally grounded aesthetic.
From seed to shirt, every step of our production is intentional. The cotton is grown without GMOs or harmful agrochemicals, then hand printed, naturally dyed, washed in flowing water, and dried in the sun by a tenth generation master Ajrakh printer and his team of artisans in Kutch. The result is a shirt that’s effortlessly wearable, naturally breathable, and rich with history.
