Very rarely do we realise the quality of goods our country is capable of creating. Not many take handlooms and weavers seriously apart from occassions that include something traditional. However, actress Samantha had made people realise the importance of Indian handloom and we cannot be prouder for the noble cause she chose to do. Her handloom fashion show Woven 2017 had been a super successful campaign where various fashion designers chose to design clothes using handloom and giving weavers a rebirth.

From movie promotions to some beautiful outings, Samantha was seen wearing hand-woven sarees! Here are 7 of our favourites:

1. Punit Balana, GOTA Handwoven ensemble
