Pandora "Work and Days" Ikat Dress with Ombre Bead Necklace - Ecru and Blue

Ikat is a dyeing technique used to weave patterns into textiles. It uses a technique called resist dyeing, where threads are tied and dyed before weaving. One of the most noticeable and unique attributes of surrounding an Ikat pattern is the blurriness in the design. It can also be considered to be a global design movement that spans across the centuries and originated in Asia. The word “ikat” has Indonesian and Malay roots, roughly translating to mean “tie and bind”.The handloom Ikat fabrics sourced by Ayesha originate from the weaving cluster of Telangana, India. This particular motif has been inspired by architectural elements in the Chowmahalla Palace, Hyderabad.
