beyond ikat


Elle Decor

Some of you are not ready to let go and I am with you, ikat has the perfect balance of color, style and worldly-chic.  However design is not about doing what everyone else does and everyone is doing ikat.  Its time to retire it - not forever - but just for a little bit.  Lets move on, lets find something new.  

Need something to fill the void?  I thought so.  Try batik.  
Robert Kaufman Batik
What about african textiles like mud cloth and kuba cloth?

Wax prints?
wax prints
Japanese Textiles, with the beautiful natural indigo?
textiles from Kimonoboy
So who is with me?

  4. I was never 100 percent gung-ho on ikat, and now that it has jumped the shark, I'm kinda starting to love it. :-) But I love batik even more, and I will be truly devastated when it becomes a thing whose time has run its course, and everyone is shouting, "Next!"
