About the Craft
The art of handloom weaving in Kerala dates back hundreds of years, with weaving communities passing down their knowledge through generations. The Chirakkal Weavers Co-operative Society has been at the forefront of keeping this heritage alive, supporting local artisans and ensuring that traditional techniques remain vibrant in modern times. Every dhoti woven on their traditional looms carries the soul of the weaver, with each thread interlaced with patience and precision. The use of fine 2/120s cotton for both warp and weft ensures a fabric that is lightweight yet durable, perfect for the tropical climate.
Salient Features
The cream base provides a versatile canvas that pairs beautifully with the sophisticated green border running along the edges. Measuring 3.6 metres in length and 50 inches in width, this dhoti offers ample fabric for comfortable draping. The pure cotton construction ensures breathability and softness against the skin. The handloom texture adds a subtle character that machine-made fabrics simply cannot replicate.
Speciality
What sets this dhoti apart is its authentic handloom origin. The green border creates a striking visual contrast while maintaining the understated elegance that traditional wear demands. Suitable for casual occasions, festivals and daily wear, this versatile garment adapts to various settings with ease.
