Traditional handlooms, weaves that come from manually operated
looms, are from historical times, that have seen glorious times, the patronage
of royalty and the encouragement of a populace totally dependent on it for
clothing themselves. Handlooms and weaving came up out of a need that led to
their discovery, but the devotion and toil of those that chose to make it their
livelihood breathed life into these fabrics with their concepts, execution,
finesse and flavor transformed a simple process into a complex art.
India famous for its
traditional handlooms, especially salwar kameez, sarees and many other fabrics,
has had a glorious past in handlooms and a bright future in fashion fabrics.
Handlooms are the soul of Indian ethnic, the means of livelihood for millions with
a glorious past and a promising future. Their presence in Indian fashion has
given it a niche place, an identity in international fashion.
Handloom fabrics are woven across the length and breadth of India at
different locations, each location having its own tradition of weaving. There
are innumerable varieties of sarees with names based on the locations where
they traditionally belong. Each variety has its peculiarities, forms of
adornment, its special characteristics and the making process. Some varieties
are even attached to royal times based on the encouragement received from their
respective benefactor rulers, some others a background of how they have evolved
over time. Weaving is roughly the same process all over, it is the manner in
which additions are made during the weave, after it, the coloring, the other
processes typical to each variety that create the shades of difference. The
salwar kameez that once was only a traditional garment like the saree has by
virtue of handlooms reached the level of a fashion statement.
A loom is a device used to
make cloth. The loom holds the warp threads under tension longitudinally, to
facilitate the interweaving of the weft threads laterally. There are very many
looms and though shapes and the mechanics vary, the basic purpose is to weave
cloth. Cloth from looms, mostly operated by hand, other than the power loom are
defined or known as handlooms.
Cotton is a fine natural
fibre whose fabric is soft, light, airy and very comfortable, especially during
the summer season. It is durable, has good affinity to colours and is
skin-friendly. Handloom cottons are woven on hand operated looms as against
mass produced cotton fabrics woven on power looms. Cotton handlooms offer good
canvas for designs, patterns and motifs. With good blending qualities, cotton
handlooms of traditional styles such as Gadwal cotton salwar
suits, Uppada silk punjabi suits,Pochampalli cotton
punjabi suits, Kanchi cotton punjabi
suits, Mangalagiri cotton salwar

durablity. Since they offer good canvas for prints, beautiful designer versions
are available using traditional block bagru and dabu prints in a wide range of

Silk, jute, linen, and other natural fibre threads are also used
to create wonderful handloom fabrics. While silk and cotton have tensile
strength to be stretched in the weaving process, some of the other natural
fibres achieve their strength in the making of fabrics only through blending
with silk or cotton. Artificial or man-made fibres like chiffon, georgette are
also used to make fabrics like salwar kameez on hand operated looms.
