- Supplier Story
- Handloom silk
This high-end handwoven silk company, provides some seriously high quality silk, reviving the once popular craft. From three-dimensional colors to metallic accents to motifs woven with care into the fabric, this is top of the line. JUST fell in love with the detail and care that went into each high quality piece of art.
The silk here is truly magical. Not only is the company reviving the close-but-not-yet-lost art of hand loom weaving but they have completely rewoven the social landscape in the communities they work with in Varanasi, India. Weavers have rediscovered a sense of pride in their craft, their incomes have increased dramatically and even inter-communal relationships have improved. More recently, in response to the community’s interest, the company has begun a savings program for local children’s education.
The CEO and founder hails from rural Bihar. He’s passionate about preserving the ancient cultural art of weaving and making sure that the talented weavers in this community have access to the appropriate markets. His energy, as his mission, is infectious. - Supplier Photos
