THE JOURNEY OF... Seven Senses Handwoven Fabrics. Selvedge denim fabrics are an interpretation of the historic and traditional heritage of India -of hand-spinning, hand-dyeing and hand-weaving, made in the indigenous way of Khadi. Every Seven Senses fabric is handmade, unique for human touch, simplicity and delicate detailing. A journey which keeps old crafts alive in a social and environmentally friendly way.
THE HERITAGE OF KHADI In 1918, khadi was re-introduced in India as a social & financial empowerment movement to support craftsmanship and the people living in the more remote areas of India. Villagers started to plant & harvest their own raw materials, while spinning and weaving was elevated to an ideology for self-reliance and self-governance. Khadi symbolized the need and importance of indigenous manufactured goods, “Every village shall plant and harvest its own raw-materials for yarn, every woman and man shall engage in spinning and every village shall weave whatever is needed for its own use.� Gandhi. Since original khadi is made by hands or hand run machines only, the fuel of this craftsmanship is true human artistry. Khadi became not only a symbol of revolution and resistance but also the face of an Indian identity, and marked the start of a democracy.
