Sustainable Style Spotlight: Why Chanderi Fabric Leads the Way
In a world increasingly focused on eco-conscious living, sustainable fashion is more than a trend—it’s a movement. At The House of Indu, we’re proud to spotlight Chanderi fabric, a timeless Indian handloom that blends elegance with environmental responsibility. Discover why Chanderi leads the way in sustainable style and how our collections bring this legacy to your wardrobe.
The Roots of Chanderi: A Sustainable Tradition
Hailing from the town of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh, India, this handwoven fabric dates back to the 13th century. Crafted from a blend of silk and cotton, Chanderi embodies a low-impact tradition. Unlike mass-produced textiles, its production relies on skilled artisans, minimal machinery, and natural fibers, reducing the carbon footprint. Historically cherished by royalty for its lightweight sheen, Chanderi proves sustainability and luxury can coexist.
Why Chanderi is a Sustainable Star
- Eco-Friendly Materials: Made from cotton and silk, Chanderi uses natural, biodegradable fibers, minimizing reliance on synthetic, petroleum-based fabrics.
- Handcrafted Process: Artisans weave each piece by hand, requiring little to no electricity, unlike industrial looms that consume energy and resources.
- Durability Meets Style: Its sturdy yet sheer quality ensures longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements and curbing fast fashion waste.
- Artisan Empowerment: At The House of Indu, we partner directly with weavers in our Lucknow hub, providing fair wages and sustainable livelihoods to preserve this craft.
