Indian Textiles and Handloom
The earliest textiles in India emerged through a fascinating fusion of plant and animal fibers interwoven with pigments obtained from the environment, including minerals and botanical sources. This intricate connection with nature created a biological cycle where these elements were seamlessly integrated. Through weaving, dyeing, and the use of warp and weft, these textiles showcased a diverse range of long-lasting colors. The origins of these colors are deeply intertwined with India's material history, interwoven with elements like mythology, medicinal traditions, colonial scientific impact, and indigenous knowledge.

Aim of Case Studies
India's textile heritage and its commitment to sustainable practices make it a dominant player in the global fashion industry. To capitalise on these strengths, I intend to create a platform that offers comprehensive resources and support throughout the supply chain, enabling the sourcing and production of organic garments from farm to fabric. The primary objective is to establish connections with grassroots artisans, ethical organisations, and small-scale businesses that uphold responsible practices. These entities will provide their services to both local and international designers, fostering transparency and traceability within the supply chain through the dissemination of relevant information
