Eco-Friendly Fabrics: Chanderi and the Future of Sustainable Fashion
As the fashion industry shifts toward sustainability, eco-friendly fabrics are paving the way for a greener future. At The House of Indu, we’re proud to champion Chanderi, a timeless Indian handloom that blends elegance with environmental responsibility. Explore how Chanderi is shaping the future of sustainable fashion and find it in our collections.
Chanderi: A Heritage of Sustainability
Originating from Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh, India, this handwoven fabric has thrived since the 13th century, once gracing the courts of Mughal and Rajput royalty. Made from a blend of silk and cotton, Chanderi boasts a lightweight texture and subtle sheen, adorned with zari and traditional motifs like florals and peacocks. Its eco-friendly roots lie in its minimal environmental impact, a legacy we uphold at The House of Indu.
Why Chanderi is Eco-Friendly
- Natural Fibers: Crafted from biodegradable cotton and silk, Chanderi avoids synthetic, petroleum-based materials, reducing pollution and waste.
- Low-Impact Production: Handwoven by artisans, it requires little electricity or machinery, cutting energy use compared to industrial textiles.
- Lasting Quality: Its durability means fewer replacements, combating the throwaway culture of fast fashion.
- Ethical Craftsmanship: We partner with weavers in our Lucknow hub, offering fair wages and sustainable livelihoods to preserve this craft.
