Unraveling the Legacy of Khadi Fabric

The khadi fabric is famous in India for many different reasons. It is a high-quality, luxurious fabric that is perfect for clothing. The fabric is made by being spun on a wheel or also known as a charkha, handspun and handwoven. The khadi fabric has been used for over a century in India, made from completely organic materials. 

The Khadi fabric was created by Ghandi and symbolizes his philosophy. The khadi fabric became the weapon of the non-violent population in India versus their colonial rulers. The people of India used the fabric as a civil protest. In which the people boycotted factory made clothing that was run by their British colonizers. 

Colonial rule was running all the factories in India and using Indian cloth. So the people refused to support that, and started to make their own fabric which is now known as Khadi. It symbolized national spirit and showed the respect the people have for their culture and land. 

Not only does Khadi resemble a time of strength and dignity for the people of India, but embodies much more. The fabric pays tribute to the Indian culture, times they went through, and the talents of the artisans in the village. As well as that, the process to make Khadi is friendly to the people and the Earth.

The Khadi Making Process:

  1. Cotton balls are picked by hand from the fields.
  2. The cotton fiber is then separated by using a fine comb and hand.
  3. The cotton is carefully washed to remove the final pieces of dirt to prepare it for spinning.
  4. Then it is spun on the charkha, which is a wheel, while being twisted to make the fabric stronger
  5. The strands of cotton yarn are then prepared on bobbins which are transported to artisan’s homes
  6. The artisans then weave the yarn to turn it into fabric
  7. From there, the artisans can either sell it, or send it in for vegetable dyeing or mud dyeing
  8. After the fabric is washed and dried, it is ready for use.

Care Instructions

Plant-Dyed Organic Garment Care Instructions

 

How maintain your long lasting sustainable natural fiber garments — learn how to take care of your products, while extending their lifecycle and vibrant colors. 

— When it comes to washing your garment, you will want to wash on the “delicate” setting in cold water. Once complete, hang or lay your garment in the shade to dry.

— With all organic plant-dyed pieces, there is a possibility of natural bleed from the garment. Wearing your garment multiple times in between washes can help to prevent over-washing. We highly recommend using chemical-free detergent to keep these precious non-toxic garment pristine — even add a splash of white vinegar to preserve the color.

— When it comes to ironing your BTC organics, you will want to do so on the ‘wool setting’ of your iron. This allows the job to get done, while treating the fiber with gentle care. 

Be the Change Organics provide high frequency fashion made from natural fibers with benefits of sustainability, improved comfort, scientifically elevates your vibration (frequency), and reduces your exposure to harmful chemicals.

 

BeachCandy Swimwear Care Instructions

 

BeachCandy swim is carefully handcrafted locally in Los Angeles, made to last season after season when cared for properly.

Start by filling a basin with enough water to cover your swimwear. Soak your swimsuit with a capful of swimwear cleanser and repeat this hand wash process after each use and only in cool water.

Work the suds into and through the suit to clean all areas. We recommend soaking the swimsuit for 20-30 minutes until it does not smell like chlorine or the beach any longer. Hang it to dry naturally in a shady cool place. 

Do not wring, wrap in a towel, or put in a plastic bag when wet. Chlorine and chemical exposure may increase the chances of damaging your suit. Rough surfaces, and/or heat may also shorten the life of your swimsuit fabric and Swarovski candy. We also recommend that you don’t accidentally toss your BeachCandy in a washing machine, dryer, or spot clean with harsh chemicals.
