History & Inspiration
Cotton has a long and rich history of textile production in India, dating back to ancient times. India was one of the earliest producers of cotton textiles, and Indian cotton fabrics was highly prized and traded along the ancient Silk Road. Cotton textile production grew rapidly in India during the colonial period, with the introduction of modern machinery and production methods. Cotton played a significant role in shaping India’s economy and social structures, including the use of forced labour during the British colonial period. Today, India remains a major producer and consumer of cotton textiles, with a rich tradition of handcrafted textiles and a growing modern textile industry.
Sheetal Hathkargha is inspired by the history and traditions of cotton production, creativity and design, sustainability, and customer needs. Its mission to create and sell high-quality cotton fabrics reflects these factors, including the versatility of cotton for unique and innovative designs, sustainable and ethical production practices, and fabrics for specific uses and trends.

Our Weavers
The weavers of the cotton industry are among the hardest-working people in the world. They spend long hours sitting at their looms, weaving in trigate patterns and designs on to cotton fabric. Their work requires great skill, attention to detail, and patience
Despite the beauty of their work, the weavers of ten face many hardships. The work is physically demanding, and the weavers often suffer from back and neck pain as a result of sitting in the same position for hours on end. They also face the challenge of competing with cheap, mass-produced fabrics from other countries, which can be difficult for them to sell their handmade products at a fair price.
Another challenge that the weavers of the cotton industry face is the lack of recognition and support from the wider community. Many people are unaware of the amount of hard work and dedication that goes into creating a single piece of cotton fabric. This lack of recognition can make it difficult for the weavers to earn a living wage and to continue their craft.
Despite these hardships, the weavers at Sheetal Hathkargha remain committed to keeping the tradition of cotton alive. They take pride in their work and are dedicated to preserving the skills and techniques passed down through generations. They are determined to create beautiful, high-quality cotton fabrics that will be treasured for years to come.
