Story Crafted by a group of specialised Ikat master artisans in Hyderabad, India. Ikat is an ancient dyeing and weaving process found in many cultures around the world. Ikat refers to resist dyeing the yarn before weaving and making sure it aligns to form the complex design. This kimono features double Ikat cloth that means both the weft and warp yarns have been dyed this way. A particularly complicated and labour intensive process.
