Natural Colour Story (Ajrakh Dyes)

All colours in this stole are created using age-old natural dye recipes:

• Indigo Blue — extracted from the indigo plant, symbolising depth and celestial knowledge
• Ecru — the natural shade of unbleached cotton
• Maroon — achieved using madder root (Manjistha), associated with ritual and wisdom
• Black — created using a traditional blend of iron oxide and jaggery, fermented to achieve depth and permanence

These natural dyes evolve gently over time, giving the stole a lived-in, heirloom quality.
