Where we’re headed
From a fading craft to a steady livelihood.
From documenting a fading craft to building livelihoods around it, to putting it in front of a new generation, our work is crucial, and it never stops.
We exist to turn the Kunbi weaving skill into steady income for Goan artisans, especially women, and to bring it into modern wardrobes and homes, not just archives.
