STORY BEHIND THIS CRAFT
Khadi is more than just a fabric—it's a philosophy, a movement, and a living tradition. Made famous during India’s freedom struggle, Khadi was revived by Mahatma Gandhi in the early 1900s as a symbol of self-reliance and resistance against industrialised imports. Today, it remains one of India’s most ethically grounded textiles—purely hand-spun and handwoven, supporting rural artisans and sustainable fashion.
Here’s how your Khadi Cotton Shirt comes to life:
1. Cotton Ginning & Carding
Raw cotton is first cleaned and disentangled by hand. Seeds and impurities are removed to prepare the fibre for spinning.
2. Hand Spinning (Charkha Work)
Using the traditional charkha (spinning wheel), artisans spin the cotton fibre into yarn. This yarn retains natural irregularities, giving Khadi its unique texture and breathability.
3. Yarn Washing & Dyeing
The spun yarn is washed, and if coloured, it is dyed using natural or Azo-free dyes. This process is done gently and in small batches.
4. Hand Weaving on Looms
The yarn is then woven on manual looms by skilled weavers, often in village homes or small cooperative units. Each metre takes hours—and sometimes days—to complete, depending on the weave and finish.
5. Cutting & Stitching
The handwoven fabric is tailored into shirts by local artisans. The natural drape and softness of Khadi make for shirts that are both breathable and timelessly stylish.
The result? A shirt that carries the weight of history and the lightness of cotton. Unlike factory-made garments, each piece bears the human touch—subtle irregularities, natural texture, and quiet character.
When you wear this Pure Handwoven Khadi Shirt, you're not just wearing cloth—you’re wearing heritage. Hand to thread, thread to loom, loom to you—this is fashion at its most meaningful.
