The ikat technique gives tiffany new york only the most beautiful designs were made in silk and was reserved for women's tube-skirts and long cloths for both men and women.

The Khmer Sung style:
The Khmer Sung of lower Isan wove their mat mi with three shafts making this a distinct feature among other mat mi in Isan.
