How India's handspun fabric conquered modern fashion!

    Share on

Khadi, once a symbol of India's struggle for independence, has undergone a remarkable transformation. From its roots in village looms to the runways of global fashion weeks, this handspun fabric has redefined itself in the modern era.

In the early 1900s, the Swadeshi movement popularized khadi as a symbol of self-reliance and resistance against colonial rule. Mahatma Gandhi emphasized the importance of spinning khadi, encouraging people to adopt it in their daily lives. This movement not only promoted economic independence but also fostered a sense of unity and pride among Indians.

Fast forward to 2025, and khadi has found its place in contemporary fashion. Designers are incorporating khadi into modern silhouettes, blending tradition with innovation. The fabric's resurgence is also attributed to its sustainability and the growing global demand for eco-friendly fashion.

Today, khadi's journey from ashrams to Instagram showcases its enduring appeal and adaptability, making it a timeless choice in the world of fashion.
