Celebrate Cotton Day with Indigo Handloom

"Cotton Day" was celebrated on July 14, 2011 with runway fashions by Rina Dhaka, Ritu Kumar, and Sabyasachi to promote Indian cotton.  Designer Payal Jain was quoted in The Pioneer as saying that cotton "is the only fabric which has always been in vogue."

Cotton Day is the promotional genius of the Cotton Council International (CCI).

Indigo Handloom sundress -
a perfect summer celebration
of cotton!
In its official Press Release, Ms. Agnieszka Fijol, CCI Program Head, India, said “‘Cotton Day’ was conceptualized to surprise people at what is possible with  cotton.  ‘Cotton Day’ takes the audience on a journey through how others see and use cotton, how it impacts people’s lives across the world, and what creative possibilities exist in skilled hands."

Here at Indigo Handloom, we celebrate Indian cotton every day.  I design our handloomed khadi cottons, which are produced by Indian khadi artisans to be sold to other design houses and turned into garments under the Indigo Handloom label.  Wouldn't this cotton sundress be your perfect celebration of summer-cool cotton?
