All silk ikats are luxurious fabrics, but silk velvet stands as the epitome of elegance and the ultimate expression of opulence. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Margilan, Uzbekistan, this Fuchsia / Rosy-Brown Silk Ikat Velvet is a testament to fine craftsmanship and tradition. Woven from a blend of silk and cotton, the fabric exudes a rich texture and stunning beauty, making it a truly unique textile.
Not many people know that during Soviet times, the secret of making silk-cut velvet was lost. In a country focused on providing basic means of living for its citizens, such luxurious fabrics were deemed unnecessary. The Soviet government considered the production of silk velvets irrelevant, and over time, artisans lost the skill to make this fabric. It wasn’t until the 1990s that this art was revived, when master artisans, inspired by 100-year-old remnants, painstakingly experimented and brought forth a new version of silk ikat velvet.
The 44 cm (17.3 inches) width of this silk velvet, paired with its signature ikat pattern on one side, showcases the intricate technique behind its creation. Unlike the versatile Adras Ikat, which has its ikat patterns on both sides, this silk velvet’s soft texture brings an unparalleled depth and richness to the front, making it the perfect choice for those who seek true elegance and refinement in their projects.
This special fabric will requirea special care, that is professional dry clean. Being dry clean only, it is a piece meant to be cherished for years to come, a treasure that highlights the centuries-old craftsmanship traditions of Uzbekistan.
