Traditional fabrics are textiles that reflect the cultural heritage and craftsmanship of a specific region or community. These fabrics are often made using age-old techniques, such as weaving, dyeing, and embroidery, passed down through generations. Common examples include silk from China, cotton from India, and wool from Scotland. Many traditional fabrics feature unique patterns and colors that tell stories or symbolize local traditions. For instance, ikat is a dyeing technique used in various cultures, while batik is known for its intricate wax-resist dyeing from Indonesia. These fabrics are not only functional but also serve as a form of artistic expression.
