“Our goal is to craft pieces that are not just products but personal stories woven into every thread. Every rug we create is a testament to our dedication and passion, capturing the essence of our heritage and the beauty of our craftsmanship.” - Asha Verma, Cooperative Leader

Nestled in the heart of Panipat, a city celebrated for its rich weaving heritage, shines a family-owned cooperative that stands as a beacon of craftsmanship.

Panipat’s weaving heritage is nurtured by 76 skilled artisans who specialize in the precise crafts of hand knotting and flat-weaving. These time-honored techniques are used to create a variety of exquisite home textiles, including rugs, cushions, bath mats, and throw blankets. Each piece handcrafted with these methods is a testament to the artisans' unparalleled craftsmanship, blending beauty, durability, and cultural heritage.

On one hand, hand-knotting is a highly intricate process where each knot is tied by hand, typically around a warp thread, to create a dense and durable fabric. This technique is particularly prized for its precision and the ability to create complex patterns and designs. Conversely, on the other hand, flat weaving is a versatile technique that involves interlacing warp and weft threads to create a flat, reversible fabric. This method is known for its simplicity, durability, and the ability to create bold, geometric patterns.

Led by the visionary weaver Asha Verma, the cooperative has become renowned for its innovative blend of traditional methods and modern design aesthetics. Asha’s approach seamlessly merges time-honored techniques with contemporary styles, resulting in rugs that are both striking and versatile. Each creation reflects a commitment to preserving the traditional art of weaving while embracing new artistic directions.

The cooperative’s work is characterized by an extraordinary attention to detail and a deep-seated pride in their craft. The artisans' dedication is palpable in every intricate design and flawless stitch, making each textile product a unique expression of their artistry.

The city of Panipat is steeped in a tradition that has flourished for centuries, and this cooperative embodies the essence of that legacy. The cooperative’s creations bring this rich heritage into modern homes, offering a tangible connection to the place through beautiful, enduring textiles.
