Spring Must-Have Print: Ikat Skirts

Posted by Lauren | Thursday April 14, 2011

Update your style with an old pattern—ikat patterns originated in Indonesia, and while few samples of the fabric have survived it was traded throughout Asia in the 19th C. It is now present in the textiles of many world cultures beyond that continent today, like Argentina, Bolivia and Mexico. The bold pattern is a great statement piece so try pairing one of these skirts with solids or complimentary tops, summery sandals and bold bangles.
