Go Tribal - IKAT








Though the tribal print trend seems to be heading out the door, there is something so appropriate about the ikat print specifically that makes me want to wear it in as many ways as possible.

Ikat (pronounced “ee-kat”) is a loom-woven textile created by a remarkable process. A master weaver first ties bundles of warp threads in precise patterns to prepare for colored dyes. A more intricate resist-dyeing technique like tie-dyeing, tied patterns must accurately match the planned fabric design.

Wear the print with solid colors like White or Black for a graphic chic look. Or try to incorporate the fun print it into your house for a world traveller look.

Stay Stylish!
