Celebrating the 6th National Handloom Day wearing one of my favourite handloom pieces. Handloom has been a part of my design journey ever since my first collection back in 2009 & continues to find itself in most of my creations. Thrilled to be celebrating this day with the Ministry of textiles #Vocal4Handmade @smritiiraniofficial @fdciofficial #textileministryofindia #handloom #masabaxekaya

Our country is a treasure trove of crafts & artisans who continue to reinvent handloom while keeping the core values of our heritage alive. If we all decide to each buy one article from a weaver/artisan, then imagine what the collective power of 1.3 Billion Indians can achieve. Together we can make a huge difference. This #NationalHandloomDay lets get together & help our handlooms thrive! #Vocal4Handmade @smritiiraniofficial I take pride in celebrating India's legacy, I'm #Vocal4Handmade. Are you? Share your pictures with pride for our weavers & artisans for we're #Vocal4Handmade
