About Original Madras Trading Co.:
Original Madras Trading Company is a 3rd generation family business. It began in the early 1970s when the founder's grandfather arrived in New York City with a trunk full of Madras checks. While continuing to make and supply both fabrics and garments from southern India, they have initiated a new project making a range of clothing using exclusively handwoven cloth. The handloom project is a way to remind people of the rich origin story of Madras cloth and its profound ties to both the American and Indian societies and their two tremendously distinct and yet interwoven cultures.
