Sustainable Way of Making the Dress - The Malkha Process
The dyeing and yarn-making is done by local weavers which keeps the cotton textle industriry local to the villages or regions where the cotton is farmed. This way, both farmers and weavers benefit from each other and it becomes an occupation of the rural population of the village allowing people to work from or near their home. This process is called the Malkha process and it empowers the socio-political situation of the rural society.
The outcome of this Malkha process is a fabric with a stubbed texture that holds its colour, retains its lustre, a garment that keeps its shape, all the while getting softer and more comfortable with each washing.
Handloom weaving is used and treatment of the yarn and fabric is done using natural, non-toxic, vegetable dyes.
