Red Archive Indian Ikat Madras

A Gitman Vintage spring/summer collection is never complete without archival Madras fabrics. This style, however, is remade from a fabric archived at our partner mill in Chennai (formerly Madras), India. Although we don't know the exact year that this fabric was originally introduced, we've been told it dates to the 70's. Just like the original fabric, this style is completely handwoven with hand-dyed yarns, and features a textural Ikat motif throughout the plaid. For those unfamiliar, ikat fabrics are made with dip-dyed yarns that change color, revealing an ombre-like pattern throughout the weave. Swatch size is 5" x 5" | 100% Cotton
