National Handloom Day | A dedicated collection of handloom saris for advocates
The Hindu
As India observes National Handloom Day 2021 on August 7, this sartorial tribute to lawyers in black, white and grey, empowers women weavers and explores a new market for Kerala handloom
Vidhi, by Save The Loom, brings a designer touch to strict legal dressing. In India, advocates wear black, white and grey, following a dress code that is governed by the Bar Council of India Rules under the Advocates Act, 1961. Unfazed by this restricted palette, Ramesh Menon, fashion industry veteran and founder of Save the Loom, used the disruption caused by the pandemic to create a dedicated collection of handloom saris for advocates. “Each sari is named after a leading female legal luminary of India. Information on her is provided along with information of the weaver and craft,” says Ramesh who worked extensively with Chedamangalam weavers after the 2018 Kerala floods washed away looms and livelihoods.
