Living in the United States has offered me countless opportunities and a new perspective on life—but one thing that remains unchanged is my love for khadi.
For many, khadi might seem like just a fabric, but for me, it’s a story. It’s a reminder of India’s journey to freedom, of Mahatma Gandhi’s vision for self-reliance, and of the hands that spin and weave each thread with care.
Even in the fast-paced world of American fashion, I choose khadi for a few reasons:
• It grounds me in my heritage, allowing me to express my identity through what I wear.
• It aligns with my values of sustainability and ethical living, supporting rural artisans and reducing my carbon footprint.
• And honestly—it’s just so comfortable, breathable, and timeless.
Wearing khadi is my way of staying rooted, even while I grow in a new land. It bridges the past and present, tradition and modernity, India and the U.S.—all in one outfit.
So next time you see someone in khadi, remember: they’re wearing more than cloth. They’re wearing history. Values. Purpose.
