Khaddar aka ‘khadi’ fabric is a handwoven fabric made from natural fibers which makes it a fashion staple in South Asia, specifically in Pakistan and India. The hand-loomed fabric has dual quality; it offers warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer. Khaddar Suits in Pakistan are typically worn during the winter months and are regarded as winter basics.
With the change of climate, Chenone opted to fulfill the needs of its customers. We are launching our premium Khaddar collection this upcoming winter season, which you can check on our website in the Khaddar Unstitched Suits section.
A Little Glimpse of History
The fabric dates back to the Indus Valley civilization but was promoted by the well-known Indian leader and freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi. The handmade textile was made by the masses for the masses. The first ever khaddar fabric was made of cotton. However, other varieties of khadi in Winter Dresses like silk and wool also became famous with time.
Khaddar in Pakistan
For many years, Pakistan has produced and imported high-quality khaddar fabric. Due to its manual nature, the fabric acquired popularity throughout the colonial era as a means of independence from the British economy and self-sufficiency. It became an essential component of Pakistani textiles when the country gained independence. Khaddar dresses are now considered a fashion staple in Pakistan and companies like Chenone play a significant part in it.
In many areas of Pakistan, the fabric is still weaved by hand which makes Pakistani khaddar unique and valuable in this machine-driven world.
