IKA BUTONI Drape Silk Chiffon Batik

IKA BUTONI Drape Silk Chiffon Batik

Draped Silk Chiffon Batik, multi panelled mid-length top with Kimono style cross over front design, featuring elbow length sleeves with cuffs that may be folded up to further to give a different and more relaxed effect. Part of our IKA BUTONI INTERNATIONAL casual range. 

The semi sheer fabrics make this garment light and airy, allowing ease of movement and can be layered with other Butoni garments to create new wearing combinations. The intricate dyed patterns are created using the technique of Batik. This long and masterful process makes pieces using this method of transfer and dye, such a piece of art.

IKA BUTONI Drape Silk Chiffon Batik

The process of Batik – hot wax is used as a drawing tool, it is used to block out areas of a material, and in this case silk chiffon fabric is the base material. The parts that have been decorated with the batik are resistant to dye transfer, but the remaining fabric can be, section by section layered with different dye and the patterns created can be overlapped using the batik method. This means that several colours may be used creating new unique combinations in a garment.

An amazing process, which has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Ika’s prints resemble ancient motifs, with a culturally inspired twist, the cutting with a relaxed flowing feel creates a rather interesting silhouette.

The Batik technique can be found in many of IKA BUTONI’s products.
