Our Textile Factory

India’s textile business is one of the oldest industries in Indian economy dating back several centuries. Father and son, Ravi and Venkat run our charming textile factory in Karur, Southern India where we have been working for more than 10 years. Now in it’s 3rd generation this family run factory is managed by Venkat who joined his father 5 years ago. Ravi, though still involved in the business, has taken over as president of the charitable lions club in the region, a very prestigious assignment.

Venkat’s delightful sister has now joined the family working at the factory and his elder sister Sowbi often drops in with her adorable baby daughter!

Bringing Our Designs to Life

It takes tremendous skill to bring our designs to life; every shape is cut out by hand and the free-hand embroidery is done mostly by eye. The accuracy of our craftspeople's work is truly astounding. To make quilts, our needleworkers and embroidery artists often sew in little groups, seated on top of the fabric. It’s a very sociable way to work.

In Southern India, work, family and religion are all seamlessly interwoven which is something to admire and reinforces the sense that the factory really is one big caring family. Every Friday evening there is a small ceremony in the factory to thank the gods for looking after them.

I am very happy with my blinds and curtains. They are just what I wanted. They look lovely in both the bedroom and the sitting room and have completely refreshed both rooms.

I really appreciated your home visit and advice which helped me to make a choice from so many gorgeous fabrics.
