\u2018Karalkada<\/strong>\u2019 has been defining the traditional style of Kerala for around 200 years. It won\u2019t be on overrated statement if we say that C.P Rajendran & Sons Karalkada has always been a part of Kerala heritage. To add to its legacy, \u2018Weavers Village<\/strong>\u2019 was started as a part of it one and a half years back. Weavers Village was started with the aim of promoting the weavers of local community and preserving our handloom tradition. The project got its kick when two energetic ladies, Sobha Ashwin and Sreeremya Sambath decided to join hands for this great initiative. Sobha is a Dual MBA graduate in Marketing & HR and Remya is a Fashion Designer from NID.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeavers Village was started in order to bring more youngsters into the field of handloom and is designed for the Triple Bottom Line; \u201cPeople, Planet & Profits\u201d. We try to promote eco-friendly brands through our venture and one share of the profit we get goes to the weaving community. Our aim is to revive the importance of handloom in our state<\/i>\u201d, adds Sobha Ashwin. WeaversVillage focuses mainly on Designer Wear, Lifestyle, Jewelleries and handmade stuffs. You will be taken to an exquisite world of terracotta jewellery, paper jewellery, handicrafts, cotton cloth bags etc. Every product you get there is purely handmade and eco-friendly.<\/p>\n

Sobha and Remya were destined to meet. Both shared common interests and always wanted to do something good for the society. And it\u2019s through Weavers Village they are taking their dream forward. \u201cWeavers Village is a platform for young designers. Anybody with creativity can join our team<\/i>\u201d, adds Remya.

Even though Weavers Village was started just one and a half years back, their works and exhibitions have gained a lot of attention and fame. Through all their works, they try to promote the Kerala handloom all over India. \u2018Navaratna\u2019 fest conducted at Trivandrum during last Onam was definitely a milestone for them. The response they got was simply outstanding! Their Autumn-Winter collection was featured in \u2018Pride of Travancore<\/strong>\u2019 at Cochin which showcased the royal culture of Trivandrum. The most prideful factor is that the \u2018Top 16\u2019 of Miss South India featured Weavers Village\u2019s costumes! Mementos for She-Taxis<\/a> showcased another dimension of their creativity.<\/p>\n

Another speciality of Weavers Village\u00a0 is the \u2018Bodha\u2019 brand. This brand comes with handloom dyed in medicinal ayurvedic herbs that keeps you fresh and healthy.
