"Do-Rukha", literally means "two-faced" and it refers to the specific type of wraps that were woven in a manner that the embroidery on the front of the wrap is mirrored by the pattern on the back thus earning it the title of Aksi Do Rukha (aksi meaning reflection). An Aksi Do Rukha wrap has been in style since 1860 and widely cherished for its unique weave and embroidery which gives the wearer a pleasure of having two wraps in one. The magnificent features and intricate embroidery makes this type of wraps the most extravagant and costly than all the other types of Cashmere.

An embroidered Do Rukha wrap can be combined with a plain back side or a mirror image of the front side. Nevertheless, however patterned, this variety of Cashmere wraps has earned a global acclaim for its fine Cashmere base and magically profuse embroidery that makes it a symbol of superior craftsmanship and a piece of art.

It is said that Emperor Akbar was a true patron of Do Rukha wraps but those wraps were woven in the Kani weave. It is even mentioned in the Ain E Akbari, a biography written in the court of Akbar, that his majesty owned a huge variety of these Do Rukha Kani wraps. It is even believed that these wraps were considered exceptionally luxurious and expensive, and would be traded worth their weight in gold. In fact some used these wraps in forms of tax or paid a king's ransom. It is these same wraps which inspired the present day Embroidered Do Rukha variety which is equally extravagant and royal.

The Aksi Do Rukha Cashmere wraps are crafted by master craftsmen who weave the wraps in such perfection that magically both sides of the wrap become a mirror image of each other.

It is after such painstaking and meticulous efforts that these craft marvels come into existence.
