Day 14

#100sareepact

Malkha Cotton; something I was longing to add in my wardrobe for long. I had been eyeing a indigo one. Finally one day an advertisement in Hindu caught my attention. But dates were not clearly mentioned. Called their Hyderabad office & checked up. Latha Raju​ my dearest friend & me then had to visit. Latha picked an awesome indigo coloured one & I went with my favourite black.

Just to share a bit about Malkha:
Malkha, produced by a group of decentralised, primary-producer-run cooperatives, is pure cotton cloth. Be it a saree, a dupatta, or a piece of fabric, a Malkha product derives its distinct identity from the following features that characterize its making –

Cotton lint that goes into the making of malkha yarn is subjected to neither baling nor unbaling – processes that destroy the elasticity, springiness, absorbency and lustre natural to cottonHandloom weavingTreatment of yarn and fabric using natural, non-toxic dyes

The outcome of this process, carefully designed to preserve the intrinsic properties of cotton, is a fabric with a slubbed texture that holds its colour, a saree that falls beautifully and retains its lustre, a garment that keeps its shape, all the while getting softer and more comfortable with each washing.

It’s simply comfortable & has a good fall. Tnx Raisin Mirakhur​ for your feedback. It helped. Tnx to Madhumita Datta​ for the beautiful neck piece.
