Every baby shoe is unique because no piece of ikat fabric looks the same. This is why your MOX shoes can slightly differ from the picture.
Ikat is an ancient weaving technique used to pattern the fabric, prior to the weaving. It’s a labor-intensive craft; the making of one sarong can last up to 6 months! The ikat differs in color, motif and meaning by place! Because of the primitive culture of Indonesia, ideas and values are expressed in textile. The fabric not only fulfills a functional role; it also fulfills a very symbolic one. For example, textile is an important part of inheritance and dowries. It is also often used as a bargaining chip. And the textile is a sign of wealth and prestige. Often the motives are symbolic of the social position of the wearer.
