Social enterprise Kara Weaves supports artisan weavers who are members of weaving cooperatives created by the Indian government in the 1960s in order to help support and promote local forms of art. All of the products, primarily contemporary home textiles, are handmade on traditional wooden looms. Kara Weaves works with weaving cooperatives of various sizes and scales. At Kara Weaves, artisans design products using traditional techniques and market them on a global basis. Promoting the work helps to bring awareness and much-needed payment and income for the disappearing craft.
