About Khadi
A symbol of Indian textile heritage, khadi has been brought to the center stage over the years for its uniqueness of being hand-spun, hand-woven and a piece of truly sustainable fabric. Due to its unique eco-friendly nature and perfect and vivid fabric qualities, khadi has become a stylish narrative that is now popularly embraced by designers. A versatile fashion fabric, khadi has been used as a tool to navigate India through its hard-won independence. Khadi has proven to be a culture.
Khadi is handcrafted and if you want to protect the environment, you have to adopt Khadi. To make a meter fabric of Khadi, it requires just 3L of water. Khadi is an air-conditioned fabric as in winter it keeps you warm and summer it is cool. We are approaching colleges, schools, universities and educating people. It is made by our people and is the best way to contribute to our people.
