'There is so much to love, respect and treasure about our Indian handlooms,' she wrote.
'Have you ever witnessed our master craftsmen/women at work? It is easily one of the most spellbinding processes.
'The precision and fluidity with which those hands and feet move so perfectly synchronised with the rhythm of the loom creating poetry in motion.
'These craft forms are ours to celebrate everyday.'

'We have rich weaving traditions with a multitude of variety, styles and techniques used.
'We end up producing only 15% of handwoven fabric for consumption.'
'Are you wearing the right clothes?' she questioned. 'Make informed choices.'
'Buy more handloom products over fast-fashion and support our weavers. Let's help sustain our weaving traditions.'

' To wear a locally sourced piece crafted by an Indian artisan who uses her magic fingers to sew on a button or embroider a flower is way more special to me than a Lycra dress or a crepe gown.
'I buy pieces I can keep, rewear without any fear of being caught by the 'again' brigade.
'Let's celebrate all artisans, keep them in business and not allow them to turn into building labourers due to lack of demand.'
