Swadesi, more than a brand is a social initiative under a movement – TAVASI. It is to re-introduce, remind and re-establish the use of cotton and other indigenously grown handloom for daily workouts, sports and other sweat inducing activities. Along with the mission to spread India’s rich cultural heritage and way of life, the aim is to spread awareness about conduciveness of fabric for any local climate and its importance for your body health.

India being a land falling under tropical type of climate does not support wearing of spandex, lycra and other synthetic fabrics. The reason being their ability to trap moisture and chemically react (accelerated by heat produced in this climate) with the skin leading to skin diseases like eczema and intertrigo .

Swadesi Sports wear is first of its kind to build workout, sports, yoga, dance and other active wear clothes made of different varieties of cotton and Indigenous handloom grown in different states of India like ikkat, bagru print, block print, kalamkari, Indigo prints and so on.

What makes Swadesi unique is its well researched designs that are a perfect amalgamation of being chic and at the same being healthy for your skin. Thus making it a perfect choice for modern athletes as well as practitioners of traditional art forms both.

All active and sports wear clothes are proudly MADE IN INDIA, using India grown handloom, sustainably and slowly by local artisans with lots of love.

Thus, we invite you to experience the perfect blend of tradition, style, and performance in our handloom-made Indian sportswear and embark on a journey towards athletic excellence with a touch of heritage!

Happy shopping.
