Mosaic Cotton Ikat Shirt | Slate/Putty

Our shirt is crafted from cotton ikat which is handwoven with a rhythmic mosaic pattern by artisans in India. Cut to an oversized shape with a collar and curved hem, then finished with corozo buttons. Part of our Menswear collection.

The cotton yarns are carefully bound and dyed to create the pattern, then hand-woven to create a soft fabric. The weavers work under master artisan Bikshapati Kolaan in the village of Yellanki in Andhra Pradesh. He has been weaving for over 40 years, following the path of his father.

Details

Machine wash 30ºC. 100% cotton. 
Made in India.
An age-old and complex technique of patterning cloth, whereby the pattern is pre-determined by tie-dyeing the yarn prior to weaving. The characteristic haziness of the pattern that emerges is a pleasing result of this hand process.
This fabric is handloom woven. Weaving irregularities are a pleasing characteristic of handloom woven items and should not be considered a fault.
