Ever fancied the cotton handloom sarees? Well, there is every reason for you to fall in love with them. One such treasure of India’s handloom industry is the gorgeous
Malkha. A flawless combination of the so soft Malmal and the classy Khadi, the
Indian textile industry must be proud of this handloom fabric to be born. It has a huge fan following across India.
Malkha- the successful existence
Its gorgeous, isn't, it?
Malkha stands to be an initiative to revive not only the fabric, however, the lives of the artisans too who were spending almost all their lives in creating such lovely products but lived in vain. That is a reason it is also termed as the "Freedom Fabric". Andhra Pradesh has seen a massive change since this initiative came into existence in 2012. Production of this fabric is very different from various other handloom cotton apparel as it requires immense level of attention while being weaved.There's been an increase in the demand therefore, the weavers are quite satisfied despite putting abundant efforts into its making, because they strongly feel, its totally worth it. We should be really proud that Malkha has reached even the fashion capital of the world, Paris and it received extraordinary response.
Malkha is categorized amongst the
sustainable handloom textiles and uses unique
spinning mills. The reason for this is that Malkha, the
latest sustainable fashion comes in line with the small-scale handloom production and not the regular large scale spinning.
4 out of 8 units are located in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
