Fabric Write up :
Handloom fabrics are crafted on loom where the artisan adds each warp and weft by hand. Due to human handling of the weave, the fabric is softer. Handloom cotton sarees is more breathable in nature. It means that it allows more air penetration and is absorbent, in turn keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

We believe that Handloom fabrics are a lifestyle,making a strong value statement! Prathaa works more and more each day to promote and support revival of Handloom weaves,carrying the love and emotions woven in each piece of fabric.

The handloom Khesh weave has been very close to our hearts building our sustainability story stronger.

The exploration and understanding started when the team visited West Bengal’s Birbhum district. The weavers there collect cotton saree’s and the women patiently tear the sari into multiple long strips.

The thin strips are then incorporated into new fabric. The weaver sits intently on his Hand Loom machine twisting and adding the thin strips of the sarees to fresh warp threads, to create the new and up-cycled Khesh weave.

The fabric develops stripes that can sometimes differ in color meter to meter. The “beautiful irregularity” is precisely its uniqueness.

Ikat is a fabric that is crafted by resist-dyeing the yarns before weaving the fabric. After the yarns are repeatedly dyed, it is woven into cloth resulting in beautiful patterns on the fabric.

The beauty of ikat is the ‘blurriness’ that results on the fabric. The weavers are extremely skilled and work efficiently on a handloom to create the fabric.
