Description
Make the bed in global-chic style with our dreamy Khadi Bedcover. This effortlessly beautiful blanket comes to us from India, where it was handmade from start to finish by a local craft community and purchased using the principles of Fair Trade. As its name suggests, it’s made from khadi fabric — a sustainable material crafted from hand-spun and woven cotton, silk or wool on a traditional charkha, or spinning wheel. A symbol of India’s freedom movement, this fabric gained popularity in the 1920s when it was promoted by Mahatma Gandhi as both a method for self-employment and a way to boycott British fabric mills. Crafted following those same techniques, our Khadi Bedcover is made from several panels of fabric, which have been stitched together and dyed with an irregular striped pattern using natural indigo dyes. Exposed black stitching connecting these panels and decorating its edges add to Khadi’s handmade feel. Perfect as a lightweight layer on the bed, we also love Khadi for curling up with in the living room or as a boho-chic beach or picnic blanket.
