Weaves of Tradition literally stands for what it says. We source and curate crafts and textiles from nooks and corners of India and bring these right to your doorstep. We love exploring all places big and small because we believe that there are as many variations to art as there are artists. Crafts, designs, dyes, embroideries, stitches and an art deep rooted in the multitudes of ‘gharanas’ and artisans, passed on from generations to generations, and preserved with much love. The tana and bana of Indian fabric recounts the proud history of all of these. Tales of weaving and fabric in India go back to around 3000 BC, with evidence of cotton fabric being made using plant fibers. From there on, the rich history and culture of Indian textiles has only grown, and has grown deeper to tie religions, cultures, rituals and traditions together into the very fabric of India. Silks from Assam and Odisha, cottons from Bengal, silk cottons from Madhya Pradesh, rich brocades from the ghats of Banaras, the grand Kanchipurams from Tamil Nadu, the eclectic Patolas of Gujarat, the block prints form Kutch and Rajasthan and one so on., the diversity of India can truly be seen in its crafts and textiles.
