Handwoven Ikat and Sambalpuri dupattas
In Ikat the pattern is dyed into the yarn before the loom is set up. The weaver then aligns the threads by hand as the cloth grows, which is why Ikat motifs have their soft, feathered edges.
This edit has the Bhadra Ikat dupattas in silk-cotton, in teal, emerald and silver grey, and the Krasha Sambalpuri dupattas, a handwoven Ikat from Odisha, in cotton and cotton-silk. Ikat suits a solid kurta in one of its colours, and black and maroon Sambalpuri go with almost anything.
Because these are woven by hand, slight irregularities in the weave and small colour shifts between pieces are normal. They are the signature of a handloom, not a flaw.
Ikat Dupattas — frequently asked questions
What is an Ikat dupatta?
A dupatta woven from yarn that was tie-dyed before weaving, so the pattern forms as the cloth is woven. The slightly blurred edges of the motifs are the sign of real Ikat.
Is Sambalpuri a type of Ikat?
Yes. Sambalpuri is the Ikat tradition of western Odisha, known for its tie-dyed motifs and bold borders.
Is Ikat good for everyday wear?
Yes. Cotton and silk-cotton Ikat is light and breathable, and the pattern hides creases.
How do I care for handloom cotton?
Gentle cold hand wash separately for the first few washes, dry in shade, and press on the reverse. Handloom cotton softens with every wash.
