Ikat is an age-old, complex technique of patterning cloth, where the pattern is predetermined by tie-dyeing the yarn prior to weaving. The word ‘ikat’ derives from the Malay-Indonesian ‘mengikat’, meaning to tie or bind. The graphic fabric for our Lattice Ikat Cotton Gown has been hand woven, precisely tied and carefully hand-dyed by master weavers in southern India, where the technique has been passed down from one generation to the next. The characteristic haziness of the pattern is a pleasing result of this process.

Cotton Care Guide
Cotton is a versatile, comfortable and breathable fabric and is easy to look after. At TOAST, we love cotton for its ability to take dye and retain bright colours and intricate prints.
Obtained from the fibres surrounding the soft seed pods of the cotton plant, cotton is a natural and biodegradable fibre that has been used since antiquity. The fibres are cleaned and spun into threads before being made into a variety of fabrics, from denim and corduroy to poplin and twills.
How to wash
Cotton can be washed at 30 degrees in the machine with similar colours. Try to wash your cotton less frequently to maintain the shape, colour, and quality of your garment.
How to dry & store
Reshape your garment whilst damp by holding the side seams together and shaking. Cotton is best dried flat or hanging to prevent the need for ironing. If an item requires ironing, then it is best to do so whilst slightly damp or using the steam setting.
Hang your cotton clothes away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
