These handwoven cushion covers are printed with natural dyes and are double-sided with a zip closure.  

Ikat is a style of weaving that uses a tie-dye process 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. "Ikat" means "tied" or "bound" in the Malay language which describes the process.  Ikats are often symbols of status, wealth, power and prestige. Perhaps because of the difficulty and time required to make Ikats, some cultures believe the cloth is imbued with magical powers

Please note that ikats are handwoven and dyed so they often have what would be considered imperfections if they were mass-produced using high powered looms. They can have flecks of other dye colors, looped yarns and what appear to be runs - usually only on very close inspection. This is the inherent beauty of a completely handwoven and dyed fabric - they would not be a traditional Ikat if they were too perfect!
