This gorgeous vintage Ikat shawl in shades of purple and lavender features an intricate woven design in shades of light green and gold. The vintage collection from Ock Pop Tok is a special selection of textiles gathered from all over Laos and given new life in an exquisite shawls. Each is one-of-a-kind.
Ikat, an age-old technique of resist dyeing, is a painstakingly long process of motif formation which is seen in the weaving. The yarns are dyed in specific intervals keeping a desired pattern in mind. Ikat means “to bind” and the pattern of the motifs is dyed in unidirectional sets of threads- warp or weft Ikat.
A notable feature of ikat textiles is a "blurriness" to the design. This blurriness is an essential symbol of the extreme intricacy the weaver has to face at the time of lining up the dyed yarns so that the pattern comes out perfectly in the finished cloth. Cotton and silk. Dry clean.
