Vintage Ikat fabrics are also cherished by many prominent museums and private collectors.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process of hand-dyeing and then hand-weaving the Ikat fabrics is very labor-intensive and follows the most stringent standards of fine craftsmanship.

These rare fabrics have always been made by hand in very small batches. Passed down from generation to generation, the centuries-old artistic traditions responsible for the unique Ikat techniques and designs live on in modern-day Uzbekistan. Our Uzbek Ikats remain true to their original roots and remain as brilliant and refreshing today as they were centuries ago.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese gorgeous Ikat fabrics are a cultural landmark of Uzbekistan and Central Asia, internationally acclaimed for their infinitely diverse designs. The rich traditional Ikat patterns begin with hand-dyeing the threads. Once placed on the hand loom, the threads gradually form an organized design in the hands of a master artisan inspired by the creative heritage of the ancient Bukhara, Samarkand and Khiva. In capable hands, the Ikat designs can take a limitless number of brilliant shapes. The technique empowers a unique diversity of designs featuring energetic combinations of colors, shapes and patterns that can suit any taste and occasion.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTypes of Ikat Fabrics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWe can broadly group the majority of Uzbek Ikats into five distinct categories, depending on their material composition, textures and uses, with all five available in our store. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Silk Shoyi Uzbek Ikats are made from pure silk, and are the finest and lightest of their kind.
