My favorite ikat dress
How to wear it
Wear it on its own for a relaxed loungey day out or cinch it with the belt for definition.
The classic black and white combination makes it a wardrobe must have that works effortlessly across seasons.
How it changes the world

Ikat weavers from Telangana
It has been tie dyed and woven by a traditional ikat weaving community located in the village of Choutuppal in Telangana.Each weaver is able to make no more than a few meters a day and the tie dye process takes several weeks.
