Ikat patterns are woven fabrics made using a tie-died process. This technique has been used primarily in Uzbekistan and Indonesia. Ikat pronounced ee-khat, not eye-cat, are ancient designs that have been inspiring western fashion designers who have been incorporating them into clothes. Hali has worked with rug designers in India to transfer the Ikat textile designs into beautiful hand-knotted rugs exclusively for Hali stores in Australia. Ikat rugs are a treasure for today, and a sought after collectible for the next century. |
