TILDA IKAT ROBE

The Tilda Robe is inspired by Tilda Swinton and her ethereal and majestic composure that is almost other-worldly. The way that she brings to life her characters with her performances blurring the line between life and art. It is her expertise at her craft and her celebration of the artisan and makers that inspired us to create a robe for her, bearing her name, with her blessings. Thank you Tilda. The Tilda Robe is made with over 4 meters of Silk Rayon hand-dyed and handwoven by artisans in Sakon Nakhon. The 4 meters of fabric is comprised of 2 meters of Ikat fabric and 2 meters of plain indigo fabric. Traditionally, this “set” was used to make a jacket and trousers for officials in Sakon Nakhon. We use the whole length of the fabric both plain and patterned goes in the robe. The Ikat part of the fabric is individually placed by hand at the atelier to make sure to best tell the pattern’s story and showcase it’s beauty. The lapel of the robe is lined with hand-spun handwoven cotton
