ABOUT SELLER

Craft is an economic resource available with a large number of people living in rural areas, particularly those who are not engaged in agriculture. It can be used to improve their socio-economic condition, and thus prevent their migration to urban areas, often accompanied with terrible social consequences. Kalavilasa is a rug design company based in Bangalore, functioning as a social enterprise.Kalavilasa is committed to create a trusted brand of rugs, by focusing on innovation and creativity. The rugs which we produce are handmade by craftpersons, working only with natural fibres and using a variety of techniques such as hand-tufting and dhurrie-weaving. We work in close collaboration with the master weavers who represent the second or third generation of a glorious rug-weaving tradition in the states of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh in northern India. Kalavilasa works with a strong emphasis on fair trade and labour, sustainable development, and contemporizing tradition .
