National Handloom day deserves to be celebrated! Even if it means a stay at home and busy with work day smile emoticon Even if it means wearing the saree only for a little bit, just like that!
Got this gorgeous oh-so-soft cotton block printed saree yesterday at the 100hands handmade collective. My most favorite colors black, white and of course a dash of red with the lipstick (which I got rid of after clicking the pictures wink emoticon )
I was pretty impressed with the young man who was at the stall of Gopal block printing. This enterprising young boy said that he had helped his father’s business by setting up a Facebook page. To keep up with the competition, he said. In this era of ditching family businesses and tradition because of a lack of steady means of income, there is some promise in using technology to enable just that. Bangalore folks, do vist the 100hands if you can. Vibrant and lovely collections.
