I am pretty sure you haven't bought your rakhi yet and also the fact that you are looking for a design which stands out and yet have a traditional touch to it. These days there are so many options out there that it can drive us crazy finding them. So to deal with that, here are few options by Fabindia and Frazer and Haws which are different and traditional.
Meena Work & Stones Rakhis
Stone and Meena work rakhis look pretty and unique. The base on silver and the craftsmanship is also commendable.
Thewa Rakhi
Thewa work is a special art of jewellery making wherein the craftsman fuse intricate worked out gold sheets on molten glass. It basically evolved in Pratapgarh district of Rajasthan and dates back to the Mughal age. Imagine a rakhi made with such hard work would be a priceless possession as it will also exude the much love you have for your brother.

Dokra Rakhi
Dokra work ismetal casting using the lost-wax casting technique. This sort of metal casting has been used in India for over 4,000 years and is still used. One of the earliest known lost wax artefacts is the dancing girl of Mohenjo-daro. Women wear bracelets and earrings in this work but a rakhi will for sure stand out as it is not even feminine (something many boys run away from) and look classy at the same time.
Filigree Rakhi
Filigree work is a delicate kind of jewellery metalwork, which is usually made out of gold and silver. Here the craftsman uses tiny beads or twisted threads, or both in combination, solder it together or to the surface of an object which is made from the same metal and arrange it in artistic motifs. This is like a symbol for complicated, love and hate relationship which many of us have with our brothers. We fight with them, shower our love as well, protect them like a lioness but beat them like tigresses during a fight as well. So if your relationship is like that with your brother then this is it.
Pure Silver Rakhis
Pure silver rakhis are rather valuable investments. After rakhi, like we have ginnis, these too can be stored for a time when we hope they don't see but are there. Besides, the designs stand out and if you like to show off a bit then go for it.
Enamel Rakhi
Enamel is a material which is made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing. It is usually between 750 and 850 °C. In this, the powder melts, flows, and then slowly it hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating. This rakhi will look exquisite for sure!
