China Seas Fabric: Island Ikat - Custom Brown on Cream Suncloth (OUTDOOR)

Brown is the color people claim to hate until they see it done right. This isn't trying to be taupe or greige or any other hedge - it's actual brown, the color of good leather that's been used for a decade, or chocolate that's 70% cacao and doesn't apologize for it. Against cream (which is warmer and more forgiving than stark white), it creates contrast without drama, grounded enough for a mountain house and sophisticated enough for a city terrace. This is the colorway for people who are tired of navy and white pretending to be the only acceptable outdoor palette. On Suncloth, it will outlast your patio furniture, your marriage to the color gray, and possibly your interest in whatever comes after farmhouse modern.

Suncloth is a synthetic fabric designed for more rugged use. While it is suitable for outdoors, please note that continuous exposure to sun and/or chlorinated water will cause fading.

Island Ikat is what happens when traditional ikat weaving gets scaled up and printed with confidence. The pattern has the blurred edges and soft focus that come from the resist-dye technique - those intentional imperfections where color bleeds into white are the whole point, proof that this design has ancestry in actual textile craft. But it's been amplified to statement scale, bold enough to anchor a room without requiring backup. The symmetry is mirror-perfect down the center, creating a kaleidoscopic effect that reads as both structured and organic. It works across an improbable range of colorways because the pattern itself is strong enough to hold up in whisper-pale aqua or full-volume burgundy. This is the ikat print that convinced people who thought they didn't like ikat prints.
