Learn about the ancient tie-dye technique of Ikkat, how it's made, and why it remains a timeless classic in Indian fashion.
What is Ikkat?
Ikkat is an ancient dyeing technique where the yarns are tie-dyed before they are woven into cloth. This creates a distinct, blurred pattern that is highly prized by textile lovers across the globe.
Handloom vs Powerloom
True Ikkat is a labor of love. The precision required to align the dyed yarns on a handloom is immense. Every piece is unique, bearing the subtle marks of the artisan's hand.
