lkat

Ikat is a traditional Indian fabric in which the yarns are dyed before the weaving process.

Once the dyeing process is done, the threads are carefully tied to form distinctive patterns and designs, giving them an alluring and striking appearance. The word ‘ikat’ traces its meaning from Indonesia, which means ‘to tie’ or ‘to bind.’ There are four different types of ikat: single ikat, double ikat, warp ikat and weft ikat. The art of Ikat is famous in India, Japan, Indonesia and Central Asia. In India, Pochampally is famous for Ikat. Ikat designs are vibrant, known for their distinct blurry edges, unique patterns and are light in weight. They are a true reflection of our heritage and look beautiful in any form of outfit.
