We merge the timeless art of Pakistani hand-block printing with a refined, contemporary aesthetic crafting pieces that carry the weight of tradition and the ease of modern design.
KAIRI was born from a simple belief that the kairi paisley, hand-block printed onto locally woven fabric, deserves a place in the modern wardrobe. Every motif carries the memory of the artisans who carved it, block by block, generation after generation.
We work directly with master printers across Pakistan, pairing their inherited skill with clean, considered silhouettes. The result is clothing that feels rooted in craft, yet unmistakably contemporary blockprints with a difference.
Artisans hand-trace the paisley motif onto fabric, marking the exact path the carved block will follow.
Each wooden block is meticulously hand-carved, its intricate grooves designed to hold and release rich pigment with precision.
Natural indigo and pigments are hand-mixed and dyed into yarn, achieving the deep, lasting color synonymous with KAIRI.
