Khaddar or Khadi is considered one of the most important fabrics of the Indian subcontinent and even played a major role in the Indian freedom struggle. The process of handweaving dates back to the Indus Valley civilization, that had a flourishing textile industry in 2800 BC. The first khadi, however, spun from cotton can be traced back to the 6th century AD.
Nowadays, khaddar isn’t restricted to cotton and can be spun from silk or linen. The fabric is known for its rugged texture and the ability to keep the wearer warm in winter and cool in summer. While it was initially considered a garment of the common man, fashion designers and artists have converted it to suit contemporary, modern styles.
Pop Culture
Perhaps the most famous person to employ khaddar was Mahatma Gandhi. He believed the ‘çharkha’ or spinning wheel to be a symbol of the masses resulting in the equipment being used as a statement in the independence movement. During the 90s khadi was brought into the limelight again thanks to the first khadi fashion show held by KVIC (Khadi, Village and Industries Commission).
This was followed shortly after by Ritu Beri, a prominent designer presenting her first khadi ensemble in Delhi. Several designers have followed suit, with khadi being spun to make jackets, bridal dresses, pants and kurtas.
