Collection: Sambalpuri Ikat Fabric

Ikkat is a traditional textile dyeing technique that originates from several regions in Asia, particularly India, Indonesia, and Japan. The process involves resisting dye on threads before weaving them into fabric, creating intricate patterns. There are two main types of ikkat: warp ikkat, where the threads that run lengthwise are dyed, and weft ikkat, where the crosswise threads are dyed. The technique is known for its vibrant colors and unique designs, and it is often used to create saris, shawls, and home textiles. Ikkat has a rich cultural heritage and is often associated with specific regions that have developed their distinct styles and patterns over centuries.
