We were super excited to get our hands on some true-blue Indian cotton madras... woven with just the right amount of…
slub and irregularity to it. Original Madras Trading Company is a third-generation family business that’s been weaving since the 1970s on traditional hand looms in — where else? — Madras, India. That's the birthplace of traditional Madras cloth (pronounced mud-ROSS,) defined as a plainweave fabric made from 100% Indian cotton and woven with a minimum of two colors... but usually more. We love it for its breeziness, its light weight, and its nostalgic character.
