Our Story
Karghewale
The Hindi word 'Kargha' means 'handloom'. As such, 'Karghewale' essentially are weavers.
Karghewale is a community of exceptional young weavers from various weaving clusters of India who have come together under an umbrella brand with a promise to offer bespoke handwoven textiles in contemporary designs and exemplary quality.
Every Karghewale product narrates a coming-of-age story of an artisan overcoming neatly stacked odds to realise their potential as a proud ambassador of handloom weaving.

All of us understand the importance of selling spaces and we are constantly building spaces that resonate with us.
Accessibility is a challenge for all of us who are at early stages of building an organisation. Market discovery is resource consuming and exorbitant especially for brands like us who are based out of remote areas and prioritise being close to the community we work with.
We are constantly tempted by the proposition of renting a retail space in a metro or opening a studio where buyers can access us but we have to manage our recourses effectively.
Gradually, we have set up a small showcase of gorgeous textiles at our office in Maheshwar.
You are welcome to visit and ask for a virtual tour :)
No more pulling textiles out of almirahs 😬
Small steps lead to big dreams 🙌

What is creativity?
Why is creative agency of artisans an important topic of discussion when it comes to sustenance of heritage crafts?
Why is it critical for us to understand that the pursuit of livelihood cannot be the only goal if we wish for the sustenance of heritage crafts.
We work on incubating artisan designer entrepreneurs because we realised early on that the problem of attrition and low income that plagues the sector cannot be solved in a manufacturing based model that is prevalent in the crafts sector in our country.
For crafts to prosper, artisans have to be the custodians of their craft, the people who ideate, implement and are visionaries in their crafts.
