Discover the beauty, craftsmanship, and enduring appeal of one of the world’s most remarkable textile traditions with Ikatby renowned textile expert Catherine Legrand. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this stunning coffee table book is a global exploration of ikat—an extraordinary weaving technique in which threads are resist-dyed before weaving to create intricate patterns with their distinctive soft, blurred edges.
Drawing on years of research, travel, and firsthand experience, Legrand traces the story of ikat across continents, from rare antique French flammé textiles to the regions where the craft continues to flourish today.

Whether admired for its historical significance, cultural richness, or contemporary design influence, ikat continues to inspire fashion, interiors, and decorative arts across the globe.
