Kalaap - The 'collection' of Indian weaves and textile crafts
Welcome to our world of weaves and crafts! Our story began in 2018 with a trip to Ajrakhpur and our Founder started 'Bunavat', curating sarees handwoven by last mile weavers, with a special focus on lesser known and forgotten weaves. We wanted to tell the stories of the craftspeople!
A few years later, Bunavat's journey took a different turn with thoughtful designing and responsible production. However, we missed curating our favorite #everydayhandlooms. Hence, 'Kalaap' was born to revisit the same philosophy of providing a voice and a platform to the diverse weaves and textile crafts of our country because this is what we love too!
Our Philosophy
-
Celebrating Heritage
We intend to bring to the forefront, the forgotten and lesser-known weaves and textile crafts of India, thereby safeguarding livelihoods of these communities and preserving their craft.
-
Consciously Crafted
We adopt a thoughtful approach in sourcing our weaves which are handwoven or handcrafted using natural fibres, with the least intervention of machinery. We are the opposite of fast fashion.
-
Rooted in Community
When we work directly with last-mile weavers and artisans across India, not only are we bridging the gap between a producer and consumer, we're also investing in our local communities.

Here's our new Venkatagiris!
Our traditional and authentic cotton Venkatagiri sarees handwoven in Andhra Pradesh are now available for you to explore and purchase.
