Purple Ikat Zigzags Rustic Vintage Kimono Silk from Japan By the Yard #755

Light and dark purple, with ikat-created towers, large diagonal zig-zags in a meisen-like weave. The silk is very light, thin and fine.  Think crisp shirts, ties or fine coat linings: sleek, soft, a little shiny. It's not drapey.  Some weaving imperfections are shown in the photos: color shifts, slubs, a few flaws in the selvedges, adding to the 'vintage charm'... we think it was handwoven and may be quite old. A true ikat, both sides are just the same. 14" wide, sold by the full yard, and we'll cut yours in one long piece from the never-used, vintage-or-older bolt. 100% Silk. Japan.
