Indigo Ikat-Print Short Kimono Robe
Description:
This robe is cut from lightweight cotton and printed in a bold geometric diamond and floral-lattice pattern, in deep indigo against an ivory ground. The all-over print reads almost like an ikat weave, though it’s achieved through hand block printing rather than dyeing on the loom. The robe falls to just above the knee, with a shawl collar, three-quarter kimono sleeves, dual front patch pockets, and a self-fabric waist tie. The graphic, high-contrast print gives it a more modern, gender-neutral look compared to floral prints, making it suited to loungewear, resort wear, or gifting.

The diamond-lattice pattern on this robe is a hand block-printed interpretation of ikat, a resist-dye weaving technique historically associated with regions like Gujarat and Odisha. Rajasthani block printers recreate this visual effect by hand-stamping the geometric grid with carved wooden blocks, layering indigo dye to build up the pattern — a technique-driven look rather than a woven one, which is a genuinely useful distinction for buyers who ask about it.FAQs:
- Is this print woven (ikat) or printed?
- Hand block-printed to replicate an ikat-style geometric pattern, not loom-woven.
- Is it machine washable?
- Yes, cotton robes are machine washable on a gentle cycle; wash in cold water to preserve print definition.
- Is customization available for bulk orders?
- Yes — print colorway, sizing, and private-label branding can be adjusted for wholesale/export orders.
