Woven Wizardry

Ikat is an extremely tricky process which produces a unique fabric. Most other fabrics are woven and then dyed, but in ikat the threads are dyed before being woven into cloth. Threads are bundled, tied with a dye–resistant material, and then dyed. The process can be repeated for more colors and complexity. For single ikat only the warp threads undergo this treatment, and the weft are left natural or dyed a solid color. In double ikat both warp and weft threads are bundled and dyed. The goal is to have a planned design come together in the woven piece. If successful, ikat produces designs with a characteristic feathery edge. This look is so prized it is often copied on machine–printed cloth, but there is no substitute for the real thing.

Divya Top - Multi
May 22, 2024  |  By Bobbie Gibel
The colors are totally different from the photo. It is much darker than pictured. It is more rust, burnt orange and deep red on a tan background. If you are exception purples, lavenders and light orange you will be disappointed. It is still a lovely shirt, but color is disappointing.

Happy with Purchase
Apr 24, 2024  |  By E.
As I appreciate ikat fabric, I purchased this top. Its side panel with embroidery is very complementary, too. I opted for a larger size than usual, which was a the right decision. I've purchased two two Divya Tops in different sizes, and this style does not have as much ease in the bust as other garments from Marketplace. First time wearing this top, I received a compliment!

Those COLORS!! And Ikat blows my mind
Apr 4, 2024  |  By Therry
I love everything about the Ikat weave. I've followed your information about how it's done and it fascinates me. In addition , this well cut and flattering Divya top comes in my favorite colors and I have some wonderful pants I can wear it with. I have been shopping with MarketplaceIndia since the early 1990s and my closet is full of your work. I love the way the pieces are designed and made and marketed, and I love that I get to support women artisans in India while wearing colorful clothes that make me feel happy! Thank you for everything you do, and I should add that I'm still wearing the first piece I bought from you in the early 1990s. Your clothes do not wear out or fade or lose any value.
