About Kara Weaves

Started in the summer of 2008, Kara Weaves stands for everything we love about handmade products and the people who make them. We are a WBE certified social enterprise working with co-operatives to create fair-trade handwoven textiles in south-west India. We partner with local weaving co-operatives in Kerala, India to design contemporary home textiles. Each product is made from very ancient local fabrics that are hand-made at traditional wooden looms. This first-of-its-kind attempt in Kerala hopes to bridge the gap between this traditional weaving art form and a contemporary lifestyle. Since February 2013, we are certified members of the Fair Trade Forum of India, the country network of the WFTO and WFTO-Asia.Read their story
