Tenun ikat is an Indonesian traditional fabric, made from weaves of woofs which are previously knotted and dipped in natural coloring agents. Before being woven, the yarns are knotted with plastic or ropes, according to the desired pattern. At the end, the fabric will be dipped in the coloring agents, and the knotted parts of the fabric will create the pattern. Normally, people use non-machine looms to make tenun ikat. Toraja, Sumbawa, Flores, and Sumba are some of the places in Indonesia which are famous for their tenun ikat. Woven fabrics in Indonesia are considered to have existed since the Neolithic era. This has been proven by the discovery of prehistoric objects, such as woven seals, tools for spinning, and materials that are clearly visible in woven fabrics made of cotton, which were discovered more than 3,000 years ago at sites in Indonesia. Traditional fabrics with distinctive motif designs and black fabric blend that makes it look fashionable and beautiful. No wonder, this fabric always becomes the target of tourists when they come to Indonesia. The style and bright color are very suitable to be combined into formal clothes for young executives.
