About Kara Weaves
Kara Weaves is a social enterprise creating fair-trade certified handwoven textiles. They partner with local weaving co-operatives in Kerala (India) to design contemporary home textiles.
Each product is made from a very ancient local fabric called the “thorthu” that is hand-made at traditional wooden looms. Started in the summer of 2008, Kara Weaves stands for everything that’s there to love about handmade products and the people who make them.
This first-of-its-kind attempt in Kerala hopes to bridge the gap between this traditional weaving art form and a contemporary lifestyle.
