This notebook carries a textile tradition that dates back to the Indus Valley, where resist block printing has been practised for thousands of years.
Ajrak is created through a detailed process of hand block printing, where patterns are built layer by layer using natural dyes such as indigo and madder root. The result is a rich, geometric composition, often in deep reds and blues, with a rhythm that feels both structured and fluid. Each piece reflects the precision and patience of the maker, with slight variations that give the fabric its character.
The cover is made using fabric off-cuts, allowing smaller remnants to be used thoughtfully, while the pages inside are formed from recycled cotton, paper waste, and other natural fibres. This process avoids the use of new raw materials, giving existing materials a further life.
Designed for everyday use, the notebook holds a clean, ruled interior, making it easy to return to for notes, lists, or quiet moments of writing.
