Handloom and Heritage

Handloom has been a part of the Indian culture for thousands of years. We have all had those days when our grandmothers proudly waved the ‘pallu’ of their designer handloom saree around for every festival. But, this industry is flourishing not only in the field of clothing, but also provides eco-friendly advantages while employing the most heavily found strata of Indian society.

It retains the cultural and traditional essence of India.
