About Us :
Chakor was founded in 2016 and believes and celebrates the deep rooted Indian traditions and myths through our rich and gorgeous textiles, that has a history and detailed story about themselves. Our endeavour is to offer insights into various Indian textile craft traditions and highlight what distinguishes them and makes them precious. What makes Chakor unique :
Our unique products are made from traditional handloom techniques, skills and hand-based processes protecting the natural environment. We do not blend indigenous craft techniques with contemporary designs instead we improvise and patronize the age-old traditional designs making them aesthetically modern for today’s consumers. Working closely with weavers and artisans by providing various design inputs and creating products that are purely natural, craft based and affordable, that delight them by interpreting our rich heritage and traditional knowledge. With an experience of nearly two decades working closely with weavers and artisans in Kutch, Rajkot, Chanderi, Chhatisgarh, in an effort to bring their stories alive in their weaves and crafts, restoring traditional designs and hand-based techniques. Our objective is to build a bridge between the craft based rural producers - weavers and artisans, and modern and urban market, thereby creating a base for skilled, sustainable rural employment, and preserving India's textile craft traditions in the process. To achieve that we have been showcasing our products via travel shows across different cities and provide first hand experience to our members enabling them to touch & feel the beauty that lies in the intricacy of the Craftsmanship.
