Indian womenswear brand Biba has launched its first range of garments under the 'India Handloom' brand. The new range offers various women's apparel made from Ikat fabrics, a fabric popular among consumers in Eastern and Southern India. The new range was launched by union textile minister Smriti Irani at an exclusive Biba store in New Delhi.
The India Handloom brand owned by the union ministry of textiles, seeks to conserve and promote Indian handloom through the brand, while also facilitating marketing of these textiles.
