Hand-Selected by Judy Gula in Bali, Indonesia
Tenun Gringsing is the sacred double ikat textile made exclusively in the village of Tenganan Pegringsingan in Bali, one of only three places in the world that produces true double ikat cloth. In double ikat, both the warp and weft threads are resist-dyed before weaving, requiring extraordinary precision and skill. A single piece can take years to complete.
This piece radiates warmth with its golden yellow ground and an all-over field of large diamond chevrons in terracotta orange, blush cream, and sage green — a sun-drenched palette that evokes the light and landscape of Bali. The composition is bold and rhythmic, with the diamond pattern running edge to edge. Finished with golden yellow hand-knotted fringe on both ends.
Gringsing textiles are believed to hold protective and healing powers and are used in sacred ceremonies across Bali. Owning one is owning a piece of living cultural heritage.

Perfect For
A radiant, joyful statement piece for a living room, studio, or gallery wall. The golden and terracotta palette pairs beautifully with natural wood, rattan, and warm earthy tones. The dimensions also make it a stunning choice for garment construction — a one-of-a-kind vest, jacket, or wearable art piece. An exceptional gift for collectors of world textiles, ethnographic art, or Balinese culture.
As a handwoven and hand-dyed double ikat textile, slight variations in color, pattern, and dimension are inherent to its artisan origin and are a mark of its authenticity.
