Figures are for this saree at this price. They move between sarees because yarn prices move; they do not move between the day you look and the day you buy.

In double ikat both warp and weft are tied and dyed before a single thread is woven, so the motif has to be aligned on two axes at the loom. Look at a motif edge: it should be crisp in both directions, not feathered on one.
Dry clean only. Store rolled in cotton mulmul, away from light — this is the one in the range most worth treating as an heirloom.

Double ikat in mustard, where warp and weft are both resist-dyed before weaving so the motif has no blurred edge on either axis.
