Mahatma Gandhi, The Father of the Nation and a freedom warrior worked hard to free Bharat from the British Raj. His Swadeshi movement which encouraged fellow countrymen to use everything that was made by Indians only, formed a revolutionary fashion movement called the Khadi movement.

Creating handloom fabric that is based on Ahimsa principles encourages everyone to wear clothes that support nature and fair trade practices and encourages the skilled craftsmanship of India!

This Gandhi Jayanti, take this fashion-forward movement ahead by sporting khadi fashion that offers an understated and impressive outlook:

Khadi Kurta

Khadi cloth is made from cotton, but it can also include silk or wool, which are spun into yarn on a charkha. It makes a versatile fabric that remains cool in summer and warm in winter. Pick a khadi kurta (short or long) in either neutral or vibrant colours and team it up with a pair of pants or denim to create a chic look.

Khadi Dress

Select a Khadi dress or tunic that is crafted with minimal detailing like embroidery, patchwork, or mirrorwork. Depending upon the length and personal comfort, you can wear it as it is or pair it with leggings or tights. Khadi dresses make a fashion-forward choice to accentuate your modern casual style. You can accentuate the khadi dress with handmade, boho-inspired jewellery to flaunt the global-inspired, ahimsa fashion!

Khadi Saree

A saree makes a timeless ensemble that works well for both formal and casual wear! Select beautiful handwoven sarees from brands that take humble pride in crafting one-of-a-kind handwoven, natural-dyed, hand-painted sarees. Khadi cotton, khadi silk, and linen sarees can be chosen from soothing colours, and minimal handwork designs and can be complemented with either matching or contrast blouses.

Khadi Jackets

From sleeveless tops, tunics, kurtas, and dresses, to handloom sarees; you can elevate the chosen outfit with a fabulous khaki jacket. Pick them from soothing colours, textures, and details like embroidery work; handloom jackets work well to accentuate the outfit of your choice. If you are wearing a printed outfit, then go for a plain or slightly textured khaki jacket. And a plain outfit can be elevated with a vibrant tone or detailed work khadi jacket!

Khadi Accessories

Why just clothes or apparel, flaunt khadi accessories to showcase your liking towards ahimsa fashion? Opt for handwoven scarves, organic cotton tote bags, handbags, shoes, jewellery and more to add interest and understated glamour to your everyday outfit. Handmade, sustainable accessories are made with eco-conscious materials and present a distinct appeal that works best if you prefer to flaunt an eccentric, flamboyant and "being aware" avatar!
