Ikat Vest I

Easy to wear layer with beautiful wabi sabi details. Surprisingly lightweight with an amazing drape. Deep side vents give it beautiful movement and make it the perfect layering piece. Dark blue with light stripes and beautiful embroidered pops of color, fringe hem.

This vest is made with vintage handwoven fabric from Cote d'Ivoire. It's an ikat strip cloth, meaning the pattern is achieved by tie-dying the thread before weaving it! It's then woven in small strips that are joined together to make a small sarong like cloth that is just enough for one piece of clothing, this one. 
The handmade and vintage nature of this fabric means it has signs of wear, these can be small holes, raw edges, stains or mending.  These are not considered flaws but add to the richness of the textile and the garment.
