Have you ever held a piece of clothing and felt a connection
to the person who made it? A sense of their skill, their passion, their story woven into the very fabric? That’s the magic of handcrafted textiles. These aren’t just pieces of cloth; they are living expressions of culture, identity,
and heritage, passed down through generations.
From intricate patterns to vibrant hues, indigenous textiles
tell tales of creativity, resilience, and a deep connection to the natural world. Yet, in today’s fast-paced fashion landscape, many of these traditions face the threat of fading away. Thankfully, passionate individuals are working
tirelessly to preserve these timeless art forms, ensuring that their stories continue to inspire and connect us all.
One such changemaker is Namrata Tiwari, the force behind It’s All Folk, a project dedicated to safeguarding and
celebrating India’s rich textile heritage while empowering artisans—especially women—through vocational training and sustainable livelihoods.
