s often starched to have a stiffer shape. It is widely accepted in fashion circles.
Khadi is not just a cloth, it is a whole movement started by Mahatma Gandhi.The Khadi movement aimed at boycotting foreign goods and promoting Indian goods, thereby improving India's economy. Mahatma Gandhi began promoting the spinning of khādī for rural self-employment and self-reliance (instead of using cloth manufactured industrially in Britain) in 1920s India thus making khadi an integral part and icon of the Swadeshi Movement. The Freedom Struggle revolved around the use of khādī fabrics and the dumping of foreign-made clothes. When some people complained about the costliness of khadi to Mahatma Gandhi, he started wearing only Dhoti.thus it symbolized the political ideas and independence itself, and to this day most politicians in India are seen only in khādī clothing. The Flag of India is only allowed to be made from this material, although in practice many flag manufacturers, especially those outside of India, ignore this rule.

consumption. Organic and eco
fibers grow without any pesticides
or chemical fertilizers.

time. Synthetic fibers
eventually become waste and let off harmful
toxins when they degrade.

the properties of the new synthetic breathable fibers with added softness and
drape. They feel better against the skin.

Not only do its chemicals reach into our groundwater, conventional clothing is
worn next to our most porous organ our skin.
Organic and ecofibers are
natural and do not contain irritating chemicals. Many of them are also
considered
hypoallergenic and naturally
antibacterial.
Popularity:
Organic foods have been around for awhile and it is a
natural evolution that
organic and eco friendly fabrics will also gain popularity. Eco and Organic
fabrics once considered an alternative are now entering into the mainstream.
Why does the industry want to use organic cotton
Organically grown cotton is
seen as environmentally friendly, as no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and
herbicides are used in the growing of the cotton. Environmental stewardship is increasingly in
the public eye and the use of organic cotton has become very trendy among
consumers. Manufacturers and retailers are responding to their demand for more
“natural” products.
