Kolam Black & White Handwoven Double Ikkat Cotton
Kolam Black & White Handwoven Double Ikkat Cotton
Woven by hand in pure cotton with all-over motifs that play on the geometric harmony of white kolam motifs woven on black, this Double Ikkat Telia Rumaal is a classic weave of the Telia tradition.
In the Double Ikkat technique from India, both the warp and the weft are resist-dyed before they touch the loom — a process that is both immensely laborious and incredibly rewarding. Through the repeated and impeccably precise method of tie-dyeing designs, the complex designs and iconic geometry of the much-coveted Double Ikkat weave emerge. Did you know? Authentic Double Ikkat weaves are undertaken by master artisans in only three countries around the world at the moment: Indonesia, India, and Japan.
Our Ikkat sarees make for the perfect easy, breezy, everyday wear. Whether layered under other pieces or worn with a simple blouse for the warmer climates, these handwoven, pure cotton weaves are as durable as they are versatile for everyday wear.
