Why We Choose Khadi Cotton Handwoven Fabric
In a world rushing towards fast fashion, Eraavat slows down to listen — to the hum of the loom, the rhythm of handwoven threads, and the wisdom of generations past. Our choice to work with Khadi cotton fabric is not just about aesthetics. It’s a deeper commitment to sustainability, heritage, and conscious craftsmanship.
Here’s why Khadi cotton is the soul of many Eraavat pieces:
What is Khadi Cotton?
Khadi is a handspun and handwoven natural fiber cloth, traditionally made from cotton. It holds cultural and political significance in India, famously revived by Mahatma Gandhi as a symbol of self-reliance and independence. Today, it stands tall as a sustainable, ethical, and breathable alternative to mass-produced textiles.
Why Eraavat Loves Khadi Cotton
1. Sustainably Made, Always
Khadi fabric is produced without the use of electricity, reducing the carbon footprint. Every meter is spun and woven by hand, supporting a zero-waste, low-energy production cycle. For us, it’s not just a textile — it’s a choice that respects the Earth.
2. Soft on Skin, Strong in Spirit
Khadi cotton is naturally breathable, making it perfect for Indian summers and year-round layering. It softens with every wash, becoming more personal and comfortable with time — much like a relationship that grows stronger with care.
3. Timeless Texture, Subtle Beauty
Unlike flat machine-made fabrics, Khadi has an organic, irregular texture that whispers individuality. The tiny slubs and weaves aren’t flaws — they’re fingerprints of the maker, a reminder that your garment was made by human hands, not factory bots.
Khadi for the Conscious Wardrobe
In a world of fleeting trends, Khadi offers timelessness. When you wear an Eraavat piece made in Khadi, you wear purpose — a piece of slow fashion that aligns with your values and tells a story beyond seasons.
Because Fabric is Never Just Fabric
At Eraavat, every thread is intention. Every top, co-ord or kurta made in Khadi is a quiet rebellion against the noise of fast fashion.
Choose Khadi. Choose stories. Choose slow.
