ABOUT US

The name "Aakriti"means 'form' or 'shape' in Sanskrit, symbolizing the creation of something beautiful and meaningful. Every piece in our collection reflects fine craftsmanship, authenticity, and a deep connection to India's vibrant cultural legacy.

FROM THE BRAND

Block printing is one of India’s oldest and most cherished crafts, with a history that spans over 2,000 years.

At Aakriti, our mission is to celebrate the ancient techniques and rich design traditions that make Indian textiles truly exceptional. By bringing this heritage from India to Canada, a real piece of artistry that no machine can replicate.

SUSTAINABILITY

At Aakriti, we celebrate the timeless tradition of hand block printing, using only natural dyes and 100% handcrafted techniques. Our dyes are made from fruits, plants, and minerals — making each piece truly rooted in nature.

This craft is entirely done by hand, from carving the blocks to printing and dyeing, which means each creation is made in limited quantities and never mass-produced. The irregularities and variations that emerge in this slow, manual process are not flaws — they are the marks of authenticity. It’s this mark and individuality that give hand block printed textiles their soulful beauty.
