Soft, dreamy, colorful, ancient and modern at the same time. Exactly what I need.

Fabric with these patterns can be integrated into most of my interiors! Good stuff from my point of view, I don’t why its getting a bad press from some of these comments.

When done right- more modern and less hippie, it can be really cool! Not sure if I can work it into my home or wardrobe, though.

I have been hunting for fabric OR pillows in Ikat for my familyroom and a guest room. THANKS ! Do you have anything by the yard, in blues?

ikat is the real deal.

it has movement and is very genuine. i’m not crazy about some of the newer ikat that doesn’t show it;s natural woven like bleed.

just wallpapered one wall behind a clients bed. love it.

Ikat is gorgeous when it is real. I love seeing those dyed yarns woven together. I don’t like the printed on fake ikat though. The suimsuit bothers me because I know it’s a knit fabric and it’s not woven. It’s not real ikat. Kind of like what Matt said.

I also have to agree with Marie that it also depends on the color choices, proportion, etc.

Ikat is fun to make too if you have the patience!
