Ten Thousand Villages Ikat Cotton Tablecloth

Why It's Good:

The age-old Ikat weaving technique uses tie-dyed yarns to produce a beautiful pattern—here in saturated shades of lavender and purple—on 100% Indian cotton. This bordered iconic design will showcase itself majestically on a flat table surface.

Why It's Green:

Ten Thousand Villages is one of the founding members of the International Fair Trade Association. This tablecloth is fair trade and hand woven on a wooden loom produced in conjunction with the Craft Resource Center which strives to help India's artisans develop businesses and become economically self-sufficient using the traditional handcrafting skills of their culture.
