Malkha combines thousands of years of Indian experience of cotton with modern Indian engineering skills. Malkha fabrics are woven by skilled weaver families on handlooms in Indian villages from cotton grown by smallholder farmer families. The malkha process puts the intermediate stage of cotton spinning back in the village, making the entire textile chain from cotton to cloth village-based. The newly designed machines put sophisticated modern technology at the service of the village, on a human scale. They handle the delicate cotton fibres gently, avoiding the force and violence of conventional processing, keeping the springiness of the live fibres all the way into the cloth. That’s what gives malkha fabric its swing & drape.
Malkha fabric is soft, it breathes, absorbs, holds colour, reflects its handmade heritage in its texture.
Malkha specialiities:
- Malkha is pure cotton cloth made directly from raw cotton in the village close to cotton fields
- Combines traditional Indian principles of cloth making with modern small-scale technology.
- Energy efficient - avoids baling and unbaling of cotton by heavy machinery and unnecessary transport.
