New Delhi [India], October 14: Few cities have shaped Indian wardrobes the way Jaipur has. Its hand block prints, Bandhani tie-dye and Leheriya waves have moved from local markets to office wear, college campuses and wedding functions across the country. The result is a crowded market, where machine-printed copies often sit beside genuine craft.
So what makes a Jaipuri kurti worth buying? Look for breathable natural fabrics like cotton and mul, prints with the slight irregularity that comes from hand blocks, and colours that soften rather than fade with each wash. Fit and size range matter just as much, because a beautiful print means little if the kurti doesn’t sit right.
With that in mind, here are six brands that stand out for Jaipuri kurtis and kurta sets in 2026.
1. The Jaipur Studio
The Jaipur Studio has built its range around the crafts Jaipur is known for: Ajrakh, Bandhani, Leheriya, Kalamkari and hand block printing, often finished with hand embroidery, mirror work or appliqué. Fabrics lean towards comfort, with pure cotton, mul cotton, muslin and Kota Doria forming the core of the collection.
What sets the brand apart is how it balances craft with everyday wearability. Its Jaipuri kurtis start at around ₹995, while festive kurta sets with dupatta cover occasions like Mehendi, Haldi and Diwali. Sizing runs from 38 to 58, with a dedicated plus-size range, which is still rare among craft-led labels. The brand works with Jaipur’s artisan community, whose legacy it traces back to 1950.
Best for: Authentic Jaipuri prints in everyday and festive styles, with inclusive sizing.
2. Anokhi
Anokhi has been associated with Jaipur’s hand block printing since the 1970s and remains a reference point for the craft. Its kurtis favour soft cottons and classic floral and geometric blocks. The brand also runs a museum of hand printing near Amber Fort.
Best for: Heritage block prints with a timeless, understated look.
3. Fabindia
Fabindia sources textiles from artisan clusters across India, and its Jaipur-style block-printed kurtis are a staple of the range. With stores in most Indian cities, it is an easy place to try styles in person.
Best for: Everyday cotton kurtis with wide store availability.
4. Jaypore
Jaypore curates handcrafted fashion from different Indian craft traditions, including Rajasthani block prints and Bandhani. Its kurtis lean towards a contemporary, design-led aesthetic.
Best for: Discovering different crafts in one place.
5. Gulabo Jaipur
Gulabo Jaipur is known for bright, cheerful block-printed clothing that plays with bold colours and playful motifs. It suits shoppers who want Jaipuri prints with a lively, youthful feel.
Best for: Colourful, statement prints.
6. Jaipur Kurti
Jaipur Kurti offers a large range of printed kurtis and kurta sets at accessible prices, with a strong presence on online marketplaces.
Best for: Budget-friendly printed kurtis.
How to choose the right Jaipuri kurti
- Check the fabric first. Cotton, mul and Kota Doria keep you cool in Indian weather; avoid heavy synthetics for daily wear.
- Expect some colour release. Natural-dye Bandhani and block prints may bleed slightly in the first wash. Wash them separately in cold water.
- Read the size chart. Brands differ widely, so compare your measurements rather than relying on S, M or L.
- Match the print to the occasion. Indigo and floral blocks suit office and daily wear; Bandhani, Leheriya and embroidered sets work better for festive events.
Jaipur’s textile traditions are hundreds of years old, but the brands carrying them forward keep finding new ways to make them part of daily life. Whether you want an easy cotton kurti or a festive dupatta set, any of these six labels is a good place to start.
