She remembered it like it was yesterday – she’d packed her bags, kissed her mother goodbye for one last time before taking off for the big city. All she wanted was to follow her heart. And her heart was filled with dreams bigger than her small-town upbringing could contain. So, she’d taken the first bus at the break of dawn, vowing to never look back until she’d conquered the impossible.

No it wasn’t easy. But she refused to give up. And after days turned into weeks into months into years, she knew she’d finally made it. Now, it was time to go back home. Sitting on the porch of her childhood home, her head resting on her mother’s proud shoulder, she could have sworn the sunset was more beautiful than any she’d ever seen. The sky was streaked with the colours of crushed plums and berries. A soft breeze brushed against her cheeks. Yes, there had been many spectacular holidays. Exotic beaches. Distant cabins on faraway mountains. But, this evening was nothing like the others – she felt victorious. She felt free. She was home.

This multi-coloured handloom cotton saree feels as comforting as a blissful evening.

The handloom cotton is a type of fabric that is woven using hand-operated looms. Two sets of interlacing yarns, the warp (length) and weft (width), are woven on a mechanised loom operated by weavers. These looms do not use electricity. Human handling lends the fabrics a unique feel and renders the fabrics more value. The resultant fabric is softer, more durable and much more comfortable than machine-made fabrics. Handloom cotton is more breathable and thus feels lighter in summers and provides more insulation in winters. The dyeing process also becomes easier for handloom cotton as the colour penetration is substantially more. Hues are absorbed better thus look resplendent on handloom cotton.

The art of hand-weaving is labour intensive and takes a longer time. But, the beauty it adds to the fabric is priceless. Choosing handloom cotton supports the rich weaving heritage of India and lets the weavers carry on the precious art-form to the future generations as well.
