FAQs

A hinggi is a traditional large warp ikat mantle or cloth originating from the island of Sumba in Indonesia, historically worn by men and used in ceremonial exchanges.

These textiles are handwoven from hand-spun cotton fibres using a warp ikat technique, where pattern threads are resist-dyed prior to weaving using natural plant pigments such as indigo and morinda root.

Authentic pieces exhibit mirrored central panels, subtle dye bleed characteristic of hand-dyeing, integrated fringed edges, and iconography featuring zoomorphic figures like horses or birds alongside geometric grids.

It can be mounted on a wooden rod or acrylic frame as focal wall art, draped across the foot of a bed, or displayed over a sofa back to introduce texture and pattern.

Keep the textile suspended away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, store flat or loosely rolled around acid-free tubes, and clean only via specialist conservation methods.
