How to wear it
The boldest cloth and the boldest colour combination in the collection. Four colours in a silk velvet ikat is an extraordinary amount of work: each one is a full round of tying the pile warp before weaving begins. Keep everything else plain. See the cloth by the metre as silk velvet ikat.
How this ikat is made
The pattern is not printed on the cloth and it is not embroidered into it. Every thread of the warp is tied off in bundles and dyed, one colour at a time, before a single row is woven — a process called abrbandi, cloud-binding, for the soft feathered edge it leaves on every motif. The cloth is handwoven in Margilan in the Fergana Valley. The garment is then cut and sewn in our atelier in Tashkent.
Made to order in our Tashkent atelier and dispatched within 18–25 days, by Uzbekiston Pochtasi tracked airmail. Sizes S to XXL; if none of those is right, send your measurements through the contact page and the piece is cut to them at no extra cost.
