I love ikat! Ikat has a fun potential that rivals a night out with Kate Hudson! It's an instant way to make a space brighter and more inviting. Unlike many bright patterns, ikat is classic which means of course, it'll never go out of style. "Ikat is a near universal weaving style common to many world cultures and is one of the oldest forms of textile decoration. It is a resist-dye process similar to tie-dye, where the fabric dye is applied prior to the threads being woven to create the final pattern" (Wiki).  Wether you've got the real deal or simply an inspired print, ikat is a sure-fire way to get the character you crave!
