Story
In front of her, a deep abyss and an endless swathe of blue sky. Behind her, a shattered dream, a broken heart, an identity she no longer claimed, and countless voiceless expectations.
She stood alone, at the brink of her existence, facing a horizon where nothing seemed out of bounds. Where the land was rugged but faithfully cast away its grey shroud to sprout tender dreams and hopes each spring. Where the water ran clear and the air was light. Where the clouds never more than an arms length away. She threw her head back, closed her eyes and breathed deeply. At least, she was free.
This multi-coloured handloom cotton saree is an ode to the human spirit, which refuses to be constrained.
Description
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.
