Kurinjipadi

Tamil Nadu

Adapting with time and tide is what Kurinjipadi cluster has shown for others to follow. Kurinjipadi handloom cluster has churned out best seller products like sarees, dhoties, towels, lungis and of course, the best seller chequered shirts, from decade to decade as its history states.

Early 1950s saw this cluster churning out Koorai sarees, Kundanji Dhothies and Kambi / Dhotis Chittai towels as they were in vogue till 1960. During that phase dhotis and towels were the two varieties of handlooms produced leading in to the next decade till 1970 when this cluster entered chequered shirting production also popularly known as Bleeding Madras which found big markets in the U.S.A.

Production of low cost lungis during 1970s and 80s in 60s x 40s x 72s reed with low texture found markets demanding for more. Export markets like Singapore, Sri Lanka and Malaysia during the 1980s sought high texture quality in 60s x 40s x 80s reed.

Around this time Payadi Lungi variety was introduced with heavy texture with mat weave having double ends on equal proportion of white and color. Payadi Lungi bears design resembling a mat.
