Stripe Brown, Hand Dyed Batik, 100% Cotton Kaftan - K012 ajrak or casual gatheringsRich coffee brown in vertical stripes, warm and easy to wear. The brown has the kind of depth that comes from hand dyeing not a flat single tone but something that breathes slightly across the cloth. The undyed ground between the stripes keeps its natural cotton colour, giving the piece a clean rhythm. Where the wax edge softened during the process, the boundary between stripe and ground has a barely there blur that no print could replicate.
