#ILoveHandloom
Smriti Irani, the Textiles Minister launched a social media campaign to support handloom textiles in India sometime in April 2016. And it caught on with many joining this campaign, with pictures and posts.
And I totally love this campaign and hope it goes on to revive Indian handloom, the prettiest, colurful and most comfortable of all clothing. Handloom, khadi have been close to my heart for many years.
My love story with Indian textiles began in Bangalore, where I got to see textiles from various parts of India - be it Gurjari or Mrignayani, KSIC showrooms, Rangachari, Nalli for Kanchipuram and cotton sarees, or exhibitions of Bengal cotton sarees, Kanta work, Benares silk, Ikkat, Tie and dye etc. I have always come back with a feeling of awe for the colours and patterns.
So, here 's my picture for the campaign:
