Ikat Prints

Ikat, or Ikkat, is a style of weaving that uses a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dye on either the warp or weft before the threads are woven to create a pattern or design. A Double Ikat is when both the warp and the weft are tie-dyed before weaving. It is apart of Spring 08 fashion and the whole boho tech trend. It tends to hand a zig zaggy tribal look to it, but not always. Since it's just coming into style, most the pieces are expensive, but here are some I've found. Also check TopShop for affordable pieces.
