This patterned stripe is woven in the traditional and centuries-old method of ikat, with a warp of soft cotton yarn that is hand-printed and then handwoven with textured, rustic jute threads. The resulting pattern has the classic feathered edges and softened colorations that are inherent to the ikat process. The motifs have a bold, tribal look that adds an accent of exoticism to a modern room, or as a counterpoint to tree-of-life and floral prints in a more traditional setting. The colors are earthy, inspired by hues found in vegetable dyes, adding to the authentic, handcrafted look.
