Drape Yourself in Nature’s Purity – The Sustainable Holi Edit by Prathaa
Holi, the festival of colours, is one of the most vibrant and cherished celebrations in India. It marks the arrival of spring, the triumph of good over evil, and a day to forget resentments and renew relationships. But beyond the Gulal and the Gujiyas, Holi is a celebration of nature itself—the blooming flowers, the harvest, and the changing season.
In recent years, there has been a beautiful shift towards "Green Holi"—celebrating with organic colours, saving water, and being mindful of our environment.[1] At Prathaa, we believe this consciousness should extend to what we wear. Fashion is an expression of our values, and this Holi, we invite you to make a statement that is both stylish and sustainable.
Why Choose Sustainable Fashion for Holi?
Holi is a festival of high energy. It involves running, dancing, and often, facing the harsh sun. Synthetic fabrics like polyester can trap heat and sweat, leading to skin irritation—especially when mixed with water and colours. Prathaa’s collection is crafted from 100% natural fabrics like handloom cotton, Mulmul, and Linen. These fabrics are:
- Breathable: They allow air circulation, keeping you cool even in the midday heat.
- Absorbent: They manage moisture better than synthetics, ensuring you stay comfortable while playing with water.
- Skin-Friendly: Natural fibers are gentle on the skin, reducing the risk of allergies from coloured powders.
The White Canvas: Celebrating with the
There is an unsaid tradition of wearing white on Holi. White represents peace and purity, but on Holi, it serves a playful purpose—it is the perfect canvas for the vibrant hues of pink, yellow, green, and blue.
Prathaa’s Shvet collection offers a variety of white silhouettes that move away from the basic.
- The Classic White Kurta: Timeless and versatile. Pair our handwoven white kurtas with denim for a fusion look, or with our signature comfortable lowers for a traditional vibe.
- Flowy Dresses: For those who want to ditch the pyjamas, our white midi and maxi dresses offer a chic alternative. With pockets to stash your organic colours and flares that twirl as you spin, these dresses are a modern favorite.
- Kaftans: If comfort is your top priority, nothing beats a Prathaa Kaftan. The anti-fit silhouette ensures the fabric doesn’t cling to you, making it the most practical choice for a wet Holi.
Fusion Fits for the Modern Celebrator
Holi parties today are a mix of traditional rituals and modern fun. Your outfit needs to transition from a family brunch to a rain dance party effortlessly. This is where Prathaa’s Indo-Western Fusion Wear shines.
- Dhoti & Harem Sets: Our best-sellers! The Dhoti pants and Harem lowers provide unmatched freedom of movement. You can sit cross-legged, run, and dance without restriction. Paired with crop tops or short kurtas, they create a silhouette that is edgy yet rooted in Indian tradition.
- Co-ord Sets: The trend of the season. A cotton co-ord set in earthy tones or soft pastels is perfect if you want to avoid white but still look festive. They are fuss-free (no managing dupattas!) and high on style.
Elegance for Holika Dahan
The evening before Holi, known as Holika Dahan, is a more solemn and ritualistic affair. It calls for elegance and grace.
- Handloom Sarees: Drape yourself in our exquisite cotton or linen sarees. The texture of handloom adds a sophistication that stands out in the evening light.
- The Bindi Connection: Our signature Bindi collection, featuring red accents on black or white, captures the fiery spirit of Holika Dahan. The bold red dot symbolizes strength and energy—perfect for the occasion.
Styling Your Prathaa Holi Outfit
Sustainable fashion is versatile. Here is how you can style your Prathaa picks for the festival:
- The Boho-Chic Look: Pair a white Prathaa maxi dress with a colourful, oxidized necklace. The silver jewelry pops beautifully against the white and adds a bohemian flair.
- The Desi-Cool Look: Wear a short kurta with our harem pants. Add sunglasses and a colourful bandana to protect your hair while looking trendy.
- The Traditional Look: A white saree with a colourful blouse (maybe pink or yellow) creates a stunning contrast.
Caring for Your Handloom After Holi
A common worry is, "Will the stains ruin my handloom clothes?" While we recommend wearing clothes you are comfortable getting coloured, the beauty of cotton is that it washes well.
- Soak Immediately: Soak your coloured clothes in a bucket of cold water with mild detergent as soon as you are done playing.
- Avoid Bleach: Harsh chemicals can damage natural fibers. Let the sun do the bleaching naturally by line-drying them in bright sunlight.
-
Embrace the Memory: If a faint pink or yellow hue remains, consider it a beautiful memory of a joyous day. Many of our customers dye their white Holi outfits into darker shades later, extending the life of the garment—a true practice of sustainability!
