About Aakarik

Aakarik is a textile brand and online platform operated under A R Khatri, a traditional textile manufacturing and wholesale business based in Anjar, Kutch, Gujarat.

Aakarik was founded by Kaif Khatri and Tariq Khatri, two brothers with a shared passion for preserving India’s rich textile heritage. Growing up in a family immersed in traditional craftsmanship, Kaif and Tariq were inspired by the artistry, history, and cultural value behind Indian textiles.

Together, they set out to create Aakarik as the modern brand identity of A R Khatri — a brand that honors traditional craftsmanship while bringing authentic, handcrafted textile pieces to modern consumers, retailers, boutique owners, and wholesalers.

Our Journey

Driven by a desire to keep their heritage alive, Kaif and Tariq have continued the textile legacy of A R Khatri by working with artisans and traditional craft processes across India.

Aakarik focuses on age-old techniques such as Ajrakh, Bandhani, handblock printing, and handloom-inspired textile work. Each product at Aakarik is a reflection of dedication, skill, and cultural heritage, curated with a contemporary touch for today’s lifestyle.

Every item tells a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and a commitment to quality.

The Aakarik Difference

Aakarik is not just a fashion label. It is the modern retail and digital identity of A R Khatri’s textile work.

Kaif and Tariq believe in offering products that reflect the true essence of Indian craftsmanship. Their dedication to traditional designs, quality fabrics, responsible sourcing, and close work with artisans ensures that each piece carries authenticity and value.

Choosing Aakarik means choosing a brand powered by A R Khatri’s textile experience, while also supporting traditional arts and artisan-led craftsmanship.

A Vision for the Future

Kaif and Tariq envision Aakarik as more than a brand. It is a movement that connects Indian textile arts with the modern world.

Their dream is for Aakarik to become a trusted symbol of India’s cultural heritage, where each piece represents both skill and story, honoring the past while building a stronger future for traditional textiles.

Through A R Khatri and Aakarik, the vision is to make authentic Indian handcrafted textiles more accessible across India and beyond.
