Our truly unique, hand-crafted Rote IKAT Sunrise Cushion Covers are truly a work of art. Proudly made by women from Sumba and Timor using ancient practices passed down through generations over thousands of years, ikat textiles are as beautifully distinctive and unique. No two pieces of ikat fabric are ever the same.
Our IKAT Rote in golden yellow Sunrise print showcases a unique pattern in two sizes: 45x70cm; and 45x35cm. Each fabric placement is unique as our covers are made from one master fabric piece, some feature the border design as well.
The beautiful golden colour, hand made from natural mango dye, is a beautiful addition for all room settings... adding a touch of uniquely bohemian style to any setting - from bedroom, to lounge rooms, to outdoor entertaining settings.
We're proud to help support villages and communities of women across the islands of Indonesia in purchasing these highly skilled, slow textiles. Our partners proudly source textiles from trusted NGOs who support traditional crafts and a small amount from local village markets to ensure variety. They source cloth as close to the source of production as possible, travelling to villages where textiles are still made using traditional methods and buy directly from the women making them. Additionally, 15% of their profits are spent on community projects that support women in Indonesia.
About IKAT
Meaning to "bind", ikat is an ancient dyeing and weaving technique originating from Indonesia used to pattern textiles that employs resist dyeing on the yarns prior to dyeing and weaving the fabric. A beautiful, traditional practice, one piece of cloth can take anywhere from 1-12 months to complete.
Indonesian ikat features a natural dyeing process - beautiful soft tones as well as strong and vibrant colours are produced using only natural dyes. The process to produce strong colours that last is often a long one, it takes generations of local knowledge which is being lost with the popularity of chemical dyes.Our partners buy ikat cloth directly from women working throughout the islands of Indonesia, predominantly Sumba and Timor.
