Our story

Cloth carries a place. We carry the thread.

IkatHouse exists to bring Uzbekistan's handwoven ikat to homes abroad—without cutting the line back to the weavers who make it.

From the Fergana Valley to your door, with every hand along the way still visible.

How we got here

From Margilan's looms outward

The route from thread to home has stayed short on purpose.

Origins

In Margilan, ikat has been bound and dyed by hand for generations. Every household of weavers passes the count of the warp, not just the craft, down the line.

Bridge

IkatHouse was built to carry that cloth further—working directly with weaving families instead of anonymous wholesalers, so the origin of a piece is never lost in transit.

Today

Each length that reaches a home abroad still carries its maker's hand in it: the same binding, the same dye baths, the same patient loom.

The people behind the thread

Two sides of the same craft.

Doniyor Askarov, based in the United States, leads market expansion, partnerships and international exhibitions. His work brings Uzbek textile heritage into conversation with collectors, designers and modern homes.

Nematulloh Mirzaahmedov, based in Margilan, is the 10th generation of an Adras and Atlas ikat-weaving lineage. He oversees production and protects the technique, quality and authenticity of every piece.

Our mission

Heritage, skill and identity—not an anonymous pattern.

We work to keep authentic ikat-making alive by trading it fairly, not imitating it cheaply: preserving a Silk Road craft through sustainable demand rather than volume.

What guides us

Our principles

Authentic, not imitated

We sell handwoven ikat, never printed lookalikes. If it carries our name, it was bound and dyed in the thread.

Ethically sourced

Weaving families are paid directly and fairly, with orders planned around real production capacity, not the reverse.

Culture over volume

We are not mass production. Small releases protect the skill and identity behind every motif.

Heritage in modern homes

Ancient craftsmanship, styled for the way people actually live and dress today.
