The IKAT PerspectiveDiscover Our Story
More Than Textiles
IKAT was created from a lifelong connection with woven art. What began with childhood memories of wool, color and traditional handwoven pieces in Azerbaijan later grew into professional study, a small workshop, teaching, and eventually a broader vision for Persian textile arts.
Our goal is not limited to one region or one product. We want to create a bridge between generations of craftsmanship and the needs of contemporary international buyers.

The IKAT Story
Read the IKAT Story
IKAT — A Name Carried Through Memory
IKAT takes its name from a family story passed down through generations. In that oral tradition, master makers known as Ikat makers are remembered for weaving metal-thread textiles and extraordinary diamond-shaped flying carpets associated with resistance. After the makers were lost, families recreated the same form as remembrance kites and later as small woven wall hangings decorated with esfand. The founder remembers this symbol from her grandmother’s home and her mother’s weaving workshop; today, its diamond form is returning to the loom as a signature IKAT kilim.
