In recent times, ikat fabric, a product from Uzbekistan has come to prominence in the handmade craft section. Buyers are taking a lot of interest in these unique natural hand-made textile pieces that are imported all the way from central Asian country of Uzbekistan. Ikat pillows are now very popular, being a smooth addition to modern and classic settings without looking too gorgeous to be out of place.

Some of the designs have distinguishable sharp patterns, others have blurry cloud textures. Successfully running in the market, ikat pillows are favored with their ornamental displays on both sides. The fabrics do not have fillers inside and the patterns are repeated throughout. Except for the ikat fabric that serves as the outer covering, the pillows are no different. They have zippers hidden on the edge and come in different measurements and all shapes, mostly square. Some of the pillow cases however do not have measurement flexibility owing to the design.
