Sea Green & Red Handwoven Double Ikkat Cotton

In shades of sea green, red, & maroon, this handwoven Double Ikkat saree in pure cotton is dyed with naturally occuring pigments which create an unparalleled richness in the fabric.

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 handwoven Double Ikkat cottons are a modern take on an age-old traditional weave whose legacy spans the breadth of a rich & complex history of weaving, draping, trade, and artistic culture in the subcontinent.
