Khadi Cotton Dresses and Pants
A khadi cotton dress begins as raw cotton, hand-spun into yarn on a charkha and handwoven into cloth on a handloom. That slow making gives khadi its uneven, breathing texture and its quiet weight, and it is the reason the fabric softens rather than wears out. This collection gathers our khadi pieces across dresses, trousers and skirts, each one azo-free dyed and made by hand in India. Clothing shaped by time, material and many hands. Made slowly. Worn often. Kept for years.
Khadi cotton pants, cut for everyday
Khadi cotton pants sit at the easy end of the collection, cut from the same handwoven cloth in relaxed, wearable shapes. The khadi pants range moves from box-pleated trousers to wide culottes, each one holding the fabric's natural fall and its breathability in warm weather. Because khadi keeps softening with wear, these are pieces that settle into a wardrobe rather than out of it.
Handloom dresses and skirts in khadi
A handloom dress carries the texture of the weave across the whole garment, so no two lengths of cloth ever read the same. Each khadi dress for women is constructed by hand once the fabric has been woven and dyed, with the hours counted into the making rather than hidden in the finish. The same cloth runs through the balloon and multi-panel skirts, so a piece can be collected, lived in and returned to for years.
FAQ
What is khadi cotton?
Khadi is cloth hand-spun and handwoven from cotton, with no power loom involved. The process gives it an uneven texture, natural breathability and a weight that softens over time.
How is a khadi cotton dress cared for?
Dry clean only, to preserve the integrity of the handwoven cloth. Natural variations in the weave are part of the garment's character.
Are the khadi pants and dresses made to order?
Custom sizing is available through the studio on WhatsApp, handled without changing the core design.
What is the difference between khadi and handloom?
Handloom refers to any cloth woven by hand on a loom. Khadi is handloom cloth where the yarn is also hand-spun, so the making is by hand from fibre to fabric.
