Here are some wonderful eco friendly pieces of clothing from Om Khadi and Atelier Om, India.
The fabric they use is called Khādī or khaddar. It originated in India as a fully hand crafted textile. It encompasses a lifestyle, a simple pure process of forming yarn and creating cloth by spinning and weaving by hand without electricity. The raw materials may be cotton, silk, or wool which are spun into threads on a spinning wheel called a charkha then made into a limited length of textile on a hand loom.
Khadi shot into prominence in 1920′s when the Indian political and spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi began promoting the spinning of Khadi for rural self-employment and self-reliance in India. You can read all about the fabric, it’s history and look at the designs of the clothing at
