~Tying cultures together~

Ikat is one of the oldest known patterned textiles in the world, with a history that spans across multiple cultures and is known to have existed in India since the 6th Century. Ikat a Malay-Indonesian language word means ‘to tie’.

Ikat is a weaving style common to many world cultures and is thought to be practised in over 30 countries across the world. Traditionally, Ikat were symbols of status, wealth, power and prestige because of the time and intricate skill involved in the weaving process. Ikat weaving is most prevalent in Indonesia, India and Japan. It is also still common in Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala and Mexico. In Iran, It goes by the Persian name, Daraee. In the 19th century, via the Silk Route, Uzbekistan and Xinjiang in Central Asia were famous for their fine silk Uzbek/Uyghur Ikat.
