This is an unbelievably beautiful process that is almost passed our western comprehension of fast fashion. This exquisite fabric is made from silk filament that has been tied and dyed (similar to ikat dying) before being handwoven on a loom which hasn't changed in mechanism for the last 1500years. This fabric will take a month for an experienced artisan weaver to produce 1 roll of fabric and complicated designs can take up to a year to produce from start to finish. This is well worth a watch, really stunning!
