Ajrakh By Designer Subarna Devendran of SD Couture: Rooted In Tradition, Styled For Today

For Designer Subarna Devendran of SD Couture, fashion is about keeping India’s artisanal legacy alive by re-engineering it for the modern woman. Moving from a debut collection inspired by the artistry of Raja Ravi Varma to the revival of Ajrakh—Gujarat’s historic, vegetable-dyed block print technique —the label continues to push boundaries. SD Couture’s latest capsule blends hand-loomed textiles, natural dyes, and hand embroidery into sleek, current silhouettes. It’s a collection that balances raw cultural roots with an effortless edge, built for women who command individuality and value deep craftsmanship. The Jharoka Jaal kaftan features intricate floral jaal embroidery on a frame trip kaftan kurta layered with an jharokha inspired emblished pants for an effortless relaxed look.
