My First Post


Dear Friends


This is my first blog post. I hope you all will enjoy reading my posts. My blog is all about local handlooms , various garments and clothing lines produced in India. The traditional handlooms are beautiful crafted by  women entrepreneurs which showcase the rich diversity of our country.  Tourists from all over the world who come to India appreciate the work of local designers. But sadly most Indians are unaware of it. So  we need to spread the word about their skills so that they can be financially benefitted. It will also help create awareness among the consumers that local handlooms can be fashionable, which in turn can encourage many entrepreneurs to pursue their work and many rich investors to invest in this field. The prominent fashion designers and Bollywood actors of our country should take the onus to present our local talent in international fashion shows. In this way the population of India will start wearing local products instead of spending a fortune in buying clothes from the branded stores which have spread their roots in almost every city in India. It will also create employment , money generated in this business will feed the household of skilled yet poor citizens of this country.
Let's dream of having outlets of local handlooms in every part of India and yes,
Please keep checking my posts and post your valuable feedback in the comment's section :) 

Have a Great Day !!!

Rajasthani Design on a Kurti.

Rajasthani design on a kurti. This is my second post. After reading my first post, I hope you will find it interesting to read my second post. Rajasthan, the state known for having a desert consisting of dull monotoned color sand is colorful only because of what its people wear. The bright colors make up for the absence of blooming flowers in the state. Interesting costumes and jewellery are not just mere ornaments for these desert people.
