Woven by hand from 100% cotton, this oversized khadi towel features a loose chestnut-brown check with green and red contrast stripes on a crisp white background, framed by a striking black border and finished with fringe at each end. Though it works beautifully as a kitchen or hand towel, its generous size also makes it versatile enough to use as a sarong, shawl, or even a light curtain.
Khadi, a traditional Indian textile, is hand-spun and handwoven cotton celebrated for its breathability, softness, and strength. More than fabric, khadi represents a movement: it was championed by Mahatma Gandhi as a symbol of self-reliance and continues to embody the artistry and resilience of rural weavers.
This piece was not designed as a commercial product but as an everyday item used widely throughout India—an authentic reflection of daily life and craft. Its simple checks and practical design speak to a tradition of textiles created to be lived with, cherished, and used in many ways.
Dimensions (approx.): 70” x 48”
