Our story

Started in a courtyard, registered as a company.

A fair wage is good. A share of the company is better.

At the loom, one thread at a time.

For generations the women of our Scheduled Caste hamlets have spun wool through the winter and knotted it into blankets and floor coverings for their own homes. The skill was never in question. What was missing was price, paperwork and a buyer who did not take the larger half.

In 2025 we registered as a producer company so that the arithmetic would finally sit with the artisan. Raw wool, backing cloth and dyestuff are bought in bulk by the collective. Finished work is graded, priced and sold under one name. The surplus returns to the members as dividend, not to a middleman as margin.

We are recognised by the Development Commissioner (Handicrafts) under the Ministry of Textiles. That recognition opens Pehchan card registration, training grants and exhibition slots for members who would otherwise never see a government form.

Aipan details, before the frame.

From the workshop, into the world.

What we hold to

Four commitments we are measured against

01

Heritage, kept working

A technique survives by being practised, not archived. We document each craft and then make sure there is a paying order behind it next season.

02

Ownership, not patronage

Members hold shares, vote at the general body and see the books. Nobody here is a beneficiary of someone else's good intentions.

03

Materials from these hills

Himalayan sheep wool, carded and dyed in our own lots. Sourced as close to the workshop as the clip allows, so the money stays close.

04

A price that holds

Grading, honest labelling and a published rate card. An artisan should be able to predict next month's earning before starting the work.

Whether you hold a shuttle, a hammer or a purchase order — the collective grows by one member, one buyer and one order at a time.
