PROMOTER’S BACKGROUND '''Sachin Patil – CEO/Designer Sachin Patil had great passion in designing different types of outfits from College. After graduating from International Institute of Fashion designing INIFD & JD Institute in fashion Design and merchandising from Jalgaon &Mumbai, he had worked under so many internationally renowned designers, such as- Azeem Khan, Naeem Khan-Ranjana Khan, Gayatri khanna. He gained experience by working in temple Creation -Mehra Toosh Studio at Hotel Hilton(oberoi) shopping Arcade Mumbai. He has worked as a Senior Fashion designer & merchandiser with high fashion hand embroidery export industries such as Suzarila Embroideries/ Chanakya International/ Shivie Exports. While exploring fabrics for designers, Sachin got inspired by organic fabric Khadi, he launched his own brand ‘Mikhadi” to make outfits in organic fabric to more accessible, well-priced, stylish enough to cater to the taste of urban India, to give them high quality workmanship and to catch the imagination of the younger generation with a cultural resonance in the form of a pride. As the world has now recognized our economic resilience due mainly to a strong domestic market and in the past had found their way in the Gandhian values. To fit perfectly, he has made khadi a style statement for many along with proving employment to the large population. Thus, Khadi is now not just only a device used by Gandhiji for freedom but it is life of many fashion conscious Customers worldwide.

A handloomed plain-weave cotton fabric produced in India. “Production of Khadi included cotton growing, picking, ginning, cleaning, carding, slivering spinning, sizing, dyeing, preparing the warp and woof, wearing and washing. Gandhi's plea for Khadi was also intended to serve as a base for many village industries such as hand grinding, hand pounding, soap making”. As a Fashion designer we have found khadi their canvas as imaginative creations. It is a ripe for re-incarnation as a livery of young surging India. We are seeking out local fabrics, craft and technique to give expression to this trend. KHADI Khadi as defined by Gandhi ji as a cloth hand woven in India from yarn handspun in India has been taken as legal definition of khadi. “Khadi is unique for its property of staying cool in summer and warm in winter which makes it exclusive among the fabric. The products are unique in the sense that they are one of a kind besides being truly “cottage” or “hand-spun” and “hand woven”. They are “flawed” and are not mindless creation of machines.That’s why each piece of khadi is different and as such many won’t mind paying for its exclusivity. It gets softer with each wash which makes it ideal tropical fabric.
