Why Handloom Woven Products Are Sustainable?

Why Handloom is sustainable?

Being sustainable is the need of the hour. Sustainability, in simple words is nothing but using available resources in an efficient manner, not affecting the needs of generations yet to come. It is a process where selfish deeds cannot perish, and the outcome will be for the collective good. Handloom is one such sustainable process of weaving without using electric machinery ; the existence of which can be traced back to our very own Indus Valley Civilisation. Handloom woven fabrics are gentle and soft, as they are woven directly by human hands, making them highly comfortable and durable. Perhaps, because of the care that is put in by the weaver!! Handloom products are known mainly for their breathability, as the fabric used is less stretched, making it a perfect clothing item to beat the heat. 

Handloom weaving has been passed down from generation to generation, where every generation has contributed a unique style through their artistry and skillset. A traditional touch is a key defining factor between a handloom and machine weaving. Handloom is sustainable as many people from even the most rural parts of India are employed in the art of weaving, this not only helps them to earn something for themselves but also motivates them to put the uniqueness of the place they belong to into their weaving. This also helps the economy to function smoothly. Handloom uses minimal or no amount of electricity and the materials used are all genuine natural resources.
