Sambalpuri Ikat Cotton Fabric - Blue with Floral Stripe

These handwoven Sambalpuri Ikat fabrics hail from Odisha in India and have been made using age-old traditional techniques.

We buy the fabric direct from a partnership in India that ensures the artisans that make it receive fair compensation for their work.

These beautiful, vibrant fabrics are rustic and full of character, with plenty of small flaws and imperfections, so please be aware of that before you purchase - they are not like the factory made fabrics you may be used to!

Please also note the width and special washing instructions. If you treat these fabrics with the care and respect they deserve they will be a lovely addition to your handmade wardrobe, softening beautifully over time.

The fabrics are all yarn-dyed, so the design is visible on both sides of the fabric.

Your fabric will be sent in a continuous length.
