Description

The oldest, most popular and longer in use. ‘The Fabric of all Season’. Smooth in texture, soft to touch, absorbent, comfortable, no doubt its widely used fabric thanks to its versatility. A woman’s best friend in hot weather and sultry condition. Ahh, it will let your skin breath and feel 'oh-so-comfortable', even with all that crips and sturdy even in extremely hot weather. It's great all-day wear for the Indian working women and housewife alike, Woot Woot! However, it’s not easy to make this beautiful ‘The fabric of all-season’. This extraordinary linen comes from pretty hardcore and labour-intensive procedures. Made from flax fibre, which undergoes a complete process from plant rotting to yarn spinning together with finishing. Though the process takes a couple of months, it is completely worth the hassle. The separation of flax fibres involves a process called Retting and the Weaving is done with specific counts as per requirements. In the world full of machine-made products we bring you something that ‘Reflects the hands of its makers’. So, the linen that reaches you is the story of these heroes, who packs it with love along with their unique work. Only remember one thing while having this beauty is to keep your saree lightly founded and store it wrapping in soft clothes. Don’t squeeze or twist hard while it is already wet.

Note: The Blouse in the picture is not what you would receive, it is for illustration purpose only.

Dilshad and his family have been weaving for over 25 years. What marks him out is his unceasing love for the loom and the willingness to learn. “Thankfully there have never been any complaints about my work. Abdullah started weaving when he was 11; he learnt the technique from his father. Despite his day to day weaving activities, Dilshad graduated from bachelor’s in commerce from a college near Patna. He is one among the few from his village who despite of their economic hardships have completed graduation as he felt education is far more important than anything else. When he was 20, he installed two hand looms in his house. “I used to buy the yarn and do my own designs. My saris had many takers.” However, when market conditions deteriorated it hit the weavers hard. Master weavers make saris for traders and their earning depend on what the buyer fixes. Wages for weavers are not high. “Gradually I learnt what works and what doesn’t in the market. I also mastered the technique with the help of the master weavers with whom I worked. Today I can make any pattern, if you show me the design, I can replicate it,” says Abdullah, who takes immense pride in his work. In a world, where handloom products are on the wane, meeting a weaver like Dilshad fills you with hope. Dilshad adds, “Nearly 80 per cent of the people living in khawajangar, Puraini and Jagdishpur villages are dependent on weaving. So, there are more weavers than there is work. Today he has over thirty weavers and all of them are employed. He is constantly looking out for changes in their lifestyle and economic conditions. He When asked Dilshad about what inspires him, his response “I am inspired from the results that we have achieved over the years of working within the community. The weavers value their textile tradition and conserve it. Their weavings have considerably improved since the beginning and now even more community members as willing to be part of the weaver’s associations”.
