Embracing Slow Fashion: The Case for Handcrafted Handloom
In the global village marked by fast fashion, slow fashion is an innovation that is worth embracing a movement that advocates for the slow way of dressing. There is nothing as simple, as smart and stylish as the beauty of handloom that is the soul of slow fashion. AVA Creation Social Impact Foundation was embarked with this social cause not to destroy and propagate this art, where exquisite silk sari, mekhela chadar, stoles and other items have been collected. This blog looks into the future of slow fashion and its foundation in handcrafted fabrics as a frame for a superior tomorrow.
What Is Slow Fashion?
Slow fashion is slow inside buying because, instead of investing in a large number of cheap things, the consumer is encouraged to buy durable and well-made items. It promotes less wasteful production, clear and easy to understand designs, and respect for the craftsmen, countering today’s inefficient and environmentally unfriendly methods of production. Handloom clothing headlined this movement because of its handcrafted and timeless designs.
The Uniqueness in Hand Crafted Handloom:
1.Craftsmanship Rooted in Culture:
Each handloom fabric be it a silk sari, a mekhela chador is a dedication of love and affection. Specially designed and made by craftsmen, every single design was inspired by the precious legacy of the Assamese community.
2.Eco-friendly Materials:
Some of the handloom fabrics which may be produced with natural fibres such as silk, cotton, or wool have little effect on the environment. In addition, the production process consumes less power and does not need any hazardous compounds.
3.Uniqueness and Quality:
Handmade products are unique and precise and that cannot be replicated in machines when making textiles. The dupattas, range from bright and bold to serene and sophisticated to downright sensual and the stoles are no less.
