The global fashion industry is standing on the edge of its biggest transformation ever — one that will separate the honest from the hollow. Europe has decided that by 2030, every fashion product sold there must carry a digital identity — something like a birth certificate for clothes. It will show where it was made, […]

🧵Most people look at a brand and see just a logo, a tagline, or a product. We built two brands — but what we’re really building is a movement. A rebellion against fake sustainability, a rescue mission for real weavers, and a wake-up call for every consumer who’s unknowingly wearing poison disguised as fashion. Let’s
A Save Handloom Foundation Movement Blog Open your wardrobe. You’ll find a hundred brands staring back at you — cotton, linen, polyester, all kinds of promises stitched into fabric. But pause. How many of those brands do you actually remember? Two? Maybe three? Exactly. That’s because people don’t remember products. They remember feelings. And if

India’s fashion scene just entered its startup era. And this time, it isn’t just about runway looks — it’s about runway returns. Over Diwali, a new reality show quietly detonated across the Indian fashion and startup ecosystem — “Pitch To Get Rich”, powered by the Fashion Entrepreneur Fund (FEF) led by Sanjay Nigam. With a
Fast fashion has done something sinister — it has dressed us up to destroy ourselves. Every time you buy a shirt, saree, or pair of leggings made of polyester, nylon, acrylic, or spandex, you’re not just wearing “clothes.” You’re wrapping yourself in plastic — derived straight from crude oil.

Let’s get real. Everyone and their grandmother wants to sell handloom sarees. Go to any craft fair, scroll through Instagram, or search “handloom saree” on any marketplace — and you’ll see an ocean of sellers. Most claim “pure handloom,” “authentic cotton,” or “heritage weave.” But the uncomfortable truth? More than 90% of what’s sold as
🔥 Let’s face it. The word “authentic” has lost its meaning in India’s textile market. For every genuine handloom saree, there are ten fake ones — powerloom clones wearing handloom stickers like stolen identity cards. That’s where we at Save Handloom Foundation draw the line. We’re not here to play safe. We’re here to redefine trust
When you walk through a handloom cluster in India — say, the narrow streets of Chendamangalam in Kerala or the looms of Varanasi’s Madanpura — you can hear a rhythm. Not the rhythm of machines, but of stories: families that have woven the same patterns for generations, women who know by touch whether the warp
