Ikat fabric, originates from the ancient weaving traditions of Southeast Asia. This traditional weaving technique, passed down through generations, involves a meticulous process that transforms raw materials into a textile masterpiece.
The journey begins with skilled artisans meticulously tying and dyeing individual threads, a process known as resist dyeing. This intricate method creates mesmerizing patterns as the dye seeps into the untied sections, forming stunning motifs. The threads are then carefully arranged on a loom, ready to be transformed into the rich tapestry that is ikat fabric.
As the shuttle weaves its way through the warp and weft, a symphony of colors and patterns emerges. The hands that guide the loom are seasoned with expertise, bringing to life the unique design envisioned by the artisan. This manual process not only showcases the artistry involved but also contributes to the sustainable and ethical ethos of the craft.
Our latest capsule collection is a testament to this rich tradition, co-created with The Saheli Women, an all-female artisan initiative in Jodhpur. Embracing five distinct weaves, each piece boasts bursting bright vibrant colors, reflecting the cultural richness of India's Ikat. The fabric, soft to the touch, is adorned with coconut buttons running down the middle, adding a touch of nature to the collection.
