A Symphony of Craft: Hand-Dyed Ikat on Silk Velvet
What sets this Black White Red Ikat Velvet apart is the astonishing combination of two highly complex and ancient textile traditions: ikat and silk velvet. Every aspect of its creation is a testament to 100% handmade mastery, using natural dyes to achieve its vibrant, yet profound, hues.
Hand-Dyed Silk Ikat (70% Natural Silk): The process begins with the silk threads (70% of the composition), which are meticulously hand-tied and resist-dyed using the traditional ikat technique. This creates the intricate pattern that will emerge during weaving. The natural dyes ensure deep, lasting color and minimal environmental impact.
Woven with Cotton (30% Cotton): These precisely patterned silk threads are then carefully woven on a handloom with natural cotton threads (30% of the composition). The cotton provides a sturdy, yet supple, base, giving the velvet structure and exceptional durability.
The Art of Velvet Weaving: The final step involves the specialized art of velvet weaving, where extra warp threads are carefully looped and then precisely cut to create the characteristic dense, soft, light-catching pile. This painstaking process brings the ikat pattern to life on the luxurious velvet surface, allowing it to subtly shift and glow, creating an almost sculptural effect.
The signature abr (cloud) effect, the soft, feathered edges of the motifs, adds a soulful, organic quality to the opulent velvet pile, reminding us that this Black White Red Ikat Velvet is a true work of human art, unparalleled by machine.
The Anatomy of an Ornate Design
The pattern of this fabric is a celebration of disciplined beauty and intricate repetition, perfectly suited to the profound texture of velvet.
The Interlocking Chains: The dominant motif is a repeating pattern of elegant, elongated oval shapes, often described as “eyelashes” or “links.” These forms interlock, creating a continuous, intricate chain or lattice that feels both grand and dynamic, reminiscent of ancient wrought ironwork or gothic stained glass.
The Crimson Heart: Nestled within the white-outlined shapes, bold crimson elements appear, adding a focal point of intense passion. Their solid, unyielding presence contrasts beautifully with the fluidity of the white lines.
A Dance of Light and Depth: The interplay of the deep black, crisp white, and vivid red, highlighted by the velvet’s plush pile, gives the fabric an almost three-dimensional quality. The way the velvet catches and reflects light makes the pattern appear to shift and glow, adding to its captivating allure, like stained glass illuminated from within.
