From Gandhi’s Charkha to Global Runways: The Timeless Appeal of Khadi
The word "Khadi" is derived from the Sanskrit word "khaddar"(खददर), meaning coarse cloth. It refers to the beautiful hand-spun and handwoven fabric, traditionally made from cotton and can also be crafted from silk or wool. Khadi not only signifies a type of cloth but also carries deep cultural history that symbolizes simplicity, self-sufficiency and sustainable fashion.
The process of making Khadi is slower, but it results in durable, high-quality garments. This aligns with the global trend towards slow fashion, which emphasizes quality, durability, and mindful consumption. Since Khadi is handwoven, it has a minimal carbon footprint compared to the machine-made fabrics. This resonates with the core brand values of ITIDÔR and not only promotes environmental consciousness but also ensures less to minimal usage & involvement of chemical processes.
In the era of fast fashion, Khadi offers a brilliant sustainable alternative. The hand-spinning and hand-weaving process minimizes carbon emissions and promotes responsible production. By choosing Khadi, you're not only embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle but also taking a step towards sustainable fashion.
As we celebrate Gandhi Jayanti, we feel proud to reflect on our khadi special “Daisies & Love”, where we embrace these ideals by incorporating Khadi into our curated collections. We believe in preserving the rich heritage of this handwoven fabric while aligning it with modern designs for men & women. Our use of Khadi reflects our commitment to both the environment and the artisans who bring these fabrics to life.
To mark Gandhi Jayanti, we present to you our timeless edit made entirely of Khadi.
Be a part of the change. Celebrate Khadi, honor sustainability, and wear your values with pride.
