Weaves of change
The Hindu
Vinod Kabra of Kausheyam, collaborates with clusters of weavers, finding ways to convince their children to uphold tradition, and work from home
Vinod Kabra has spent decades working with weavers across India.
In this time, he has seen children of weavers leave their skilled family business and move to bigger cities in search of greener pastures.
“This was the scene earlier. The children saw the older weavers being exploited. Despite working long hours, what were they earning? This prompted the younger generation to leave,” says Vinod who started Kausheyam, a label synonymous with weaves, artisanal printing on handwoven saris, and natural fabrics.
