Handloom saris are a part of our most ancient traditions. Having stood the test of time it has survived millions of years and yet stayed in its pure format.
Yes, there are machine-made counterparts which mimic the classic handloom saree but they are just a cheap alternative as the carft is becoming more and more obsolete and lesser weavers are making them.
Added to this are the man-made yarns which have taken the authenticity away from an original pure hand-woven sari.
So yes the handloom sari is truly beyond fashion as is a symbol of sustainability and slow fashion like no other.
