It is only because of the royal patronage of the maharajahs that this extraordinary «ikat» skill was perfected, long ago, in the east India state of Odisha.
The artistry of ikat weavers continues today in the production of exquisite sari fabrics.
Survival of the skill is further encouraged by our innovation of these ikat duvet covers – woven and produced exclusively for the customers of Onevillage.com.
Weavers skilled in the production of superb sari fabric now apply identical technique to the fabric in these gloriously smooth and extra light-weight duvet covers.

Complex dyeing is required to produce ikat:
Each length of yarn must contain within it the whole sequence of many colours necessary, along with other equally uniquely dyed yarns, to build up the pattern of the complete fabric.
|
|
Working out and implementing the dyeing schemes for each length of yarn is followed by skilled handloom weaving that must correctly place together the appropriate individual yarns to build the detailed design that you see in the finished fabric. Ikat must thus be the apex of handloom weaving.
ALL THIS CREATIVITY is done entirely by the craft artisan.
The dyeing and the weaving of the fabric results entirely from the skill of artisans, working without the use of any power mechanized equipment.
Your duvet cover will be a unique creation; this is not a mass-produced product.

Our ikat here is woven by members of a weavers' cooperative society in a village close to Lurupali in the north west of Odisha.
After weaving, the fabric is taken to an NGO in Bhubaneswar City. It is there that the tailoring is done converting the fabric into the duvet cover sets.
Fine 100% mercerized cotton hand-woven in India. The same ikat fabric appears on both sides of the duvet covers and pillowcases.
Comes as a set complete with standard UK-size pillowcases (75x50cm).
We recommend washing before first use to remove any excess dye. Wash separately. Machine washable (suggested max 30°C). Dry flat to avoid creasing. Best ironed, if desired, before fully dry.

The articles illustrated throughout our website are hand made artifacts so it is not appropriate to expect from them the uniformity of mass-produced merchandize. If you look closely at the details, evidence of human creativity can always be seen and this can include some size and colour variations. Please be aware that the hand dyeing of yarns and fabrics sometimes results in variations of colour tones. Precise colour accuracy online also depends in part on the colour calibration of computers and monitors.
