Handloom is the process of weaving fabric manually on a loom, typically operated by hand without the use of electricity. Handloom fabrics are extremely sought after compared to machine-made fabrics because of the considerable time and labor invested in their crafting. These looms or weaving devices are operated either entirely or partially by hand or foot power, employing traditional methods that demand significant skill and proficiency from the artisans.
Below are some of the benefits of wearing Handloom:
Breathability & Comfort: Handloom fabric being made of natural fibers is better against the skin, more absorbent, lightweight and breathable.
Durability & Quality: Being made of natural fibers like cotton, handlooms boast exceptional durability due to their tightly woven construction. This longevity minimizes the need for frequent replacements, making them a sustainable choice.
Unique: Each item being made by hand is a work of art and a unique display of craftsmanship.
Eco - Friendly: Handloom Fabrics are made using traditional techniques that require less energy consumption compared to mechanized methods. They also use organic or sustainably sourced materials, reducing the carbon footprint.
Biodegradability: Natural fibers like cotton are biodegradable unlike synthetic fibers that contribute to microplastic pollution in the environment.
Skill Preservation: By buying handloom, you are not only sustaining the livelihood of the weavers but also ensuring that the valuable traditions don’t disappear.
These inherent characteristics contribute to its sustainability and a superior alternative to the man - made synthetic fibers. We source our Handloom Fabric from our weaving partners in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Bihar and West Bengal.
