The Craft: Ajrakh
Ajrakh is a time-honored printing technique know for its intricate and natural dye process.
Each motif is hand-stamped, layer by layer, by artisans who have practiced this craft for generations. The process is slow, precise and deeply rooted in heritage - resulting in textiles that carry depth, character and soul.
When you wear this, you're wearing a piece of that story!
*Subtle variations in print and tone are a natural result of the handmade process, making each kaftan quietly one-of-a-kind*

"KAFTAN SUMMER!" My friend declared. And then she introduced me to Mudita. I didn't know that those two words would change my life. But through them, I met one woman who is making the world a better place through artistry, culture, kindness, soul, tradition, honor, sustainability, comfort, luxury, beauty and honesty. It's not often that you find ALL of those things in one person and that this one person presents you with a new wardrobe statement piece that is at once striking, soft, comfortable, elegant, luxurious, flowing, effortless and MEANINGFUL. But that is precisely what you get when you get a piece from Mudita. Along with the knowledge that you are supporting a small business, a team of talented artisans, a traditional culture and minimizing waste. I love my Kaftans so much. Need something to wear to the beach? Kaftan. What about lunch with the ladies? Kaftan. Mahjong today? Kaftan. Concert at the Bowl? Kaftan. Barbecue with friends? Kaftan. Saturday morning Farmers Market? Kaftan. Now, perhaps you understand why the rest of the clothing in my wardrobe remains untouched. Thank you, Mudita, for these beautiful, comfortable, wearable works of art!!!
I bought 2 kaftans at the north beach festival at SF and I am absolutely in love with my selections. They flow so beautifully and feel so luxurious. I am looking forward to wearing these to shows and special dinners.
