Handloom Cotton Saree | Ikkat | Beige & Noir

Ikkat, a fabric spread across the cultures of south and southeastern Asia, with its extensive resist-dyeing techniques, that have to be done before the yarn has been woven together! Its intricate handwork requiring vast forethought to dye every thread of yarn so that it results in the geometric zigs and zags the fabric is so known for...
Hand woven or Hand Loomed Sarees, to the untrained eye, can look, like simple pieces of fabric, but the exquisite skill and craftsmanship they hold coccooned within them, the forethought required to predict weaves and wefts and how they’ll impact the final product is, simply, incomprehensible… These sarees, whether the ikkats, where individual segments of individual strands of yarn are hand dyed to form thier intricate patterns or the Patteda Anchus that date back to the 8th Century, are ingrained in India’s Artistic-Cultural History.
Their simple, fine colours, their impeccable drapes, their fabric-they treat with the utmost respect, make these sarees, some to die for.
