STORY BEHIND THIS CRAFT
Born from India’s Swadeshi movement and Gandhi’s vision of self-reliance, Khadi has always been more than just cloth—it’s a statement of independence, ethics, and pride. While traditional Khadi remains deeply rooted in history, its modern cousin, Poly-Khadi, offers a contemporary take on heritage. Blending 67% hand-spun Khadi cotton with 33% polyester, it combines the best of both worlds—natural breathability with improved structure and ease of care.
Here’s how your Poly-Khadi Shirt is made:
1. Cotton Ginning & Blending
Raw cotton is carefully cleaned and prepared for spinning. It is then blended with polyester fibre in just the right proportion—enough to retain Khadi’s organic feel while improving strength and resilience.
2. Hand Spinning on Charkha
The cotton-polyester blend is hand-spun using a traditional charkha (spinning wheel). This step preserves the Khadi legacy, giving the fabric its signature texture and breathability.
3. Yarn Washing & Dyeing
The spun yarn is gently washed, then dyed using azo-free, eco-friendly dyes. This helps maintain the fabric’s environmental integrity and skin-friendliness.
4. Hand Weaving on Traditional Looms
The dyed yarn is handwoven by skilled rural artisans using age-old wooden looms. Each metre of fabric takes time, care, and craftsmanship—resulting in a texture that feels organic and looks effortlessly elegant.
5. Tailoring & Finishing
Once woven, the fabric is cut and stitched into shirts by trained tailors, with attention to fit, comfort, and finish. Buttons made of coconut shell or wood often complete the natural appeal.
The end result is a shirt that honours India’s weaving traditions while embracing functionality. It’s lightweight, breathable, gently structured, and thoughtfully made—from artisan hand to your wardrobe.
