Weavers Stores

About Us

The idea of “Weavers Stores” was conceived out of a documentary project done in the summer of 2018 at a local weaving community in Payyanur, Kerala by Krishna & Sandra, best friends for over a decade and now business partners, during their final year at design school. Five years of research and planning led them to the opening of their online store in 2022 and their first concept store in 2024. Since then, it has taken a life of its own and has been growing as a Khadi fashion & lifestyle brand, reflective of an essence of simplicity and soulful design. Weavers Stores is a culmination of their lifelong passion for handloom textiles of India and as a brand that believes in culture as much as commerce, they felt that the fast fashion cycle was becoming too toxic and an immediate threat to the environment and it needed a change of pace with products that are designed to last, not trend-driven and inspired by nature. So, this designer duo envisioned making fabrics and clothes that they’d purchase and wear for themselves, ones that reflected their history yet were global in appeal and that resulted in creating a sustainable fashion and lifestyle brand, appealing to people across borders, rooted in Malabar yet with a potential to be a part of a global narrative.

Originating from the rich culture-centric Malabar region of Kerala, both Krishna & Sandra have the drive and innovative ideas to revolutionize and revitalize the local handloom weaving communities with their value-added designs. During their journey building this brand, they learned in depth about the Khadi communities and were shocked to see how small these communities were and that a single weaver took almost 2-3 hours to weave just one meter of fabric and all of these fabrics are hand dyed, hand spun and handwoven. They felt that the weaving communities and Khadi deserved more love and appreciation hence they exclusively work with Indian textiles, creating a homegrown style that derives from the essence of people and crafts. Coming from a culture that nurtures longevity, their vision has always been to create a brand that promotes versatile clothing that can be worn for years and home décor that’s with you for a lifetime. This venture which is deeply rooted in the traditional practices of weaving, offers a range of trans-seasonal and timeless clothing made for mindful consumption.

Weavers Stores offers a product range of ready-to-wear women’s & men’s clothing and home décor made exclusively using Khadi. The ease and comfort of the fabrics used complement the brand's ideology of soulful designs with relaxed silhouettes. Fabrics matter, as do fit and form. Simplicity, versatility, and the ability to adapt are at the core of their design collection. Each piece is carefully crafted to support a conscious lifestyle with a focus on long-lasting quality. Their need to be a label that functionally adapted its waste led them to the processes of up-cycling and re-cycling, using techniques of craft with innovation. All of their fabrics and designs are ethically made and what they waste is segregated and upcycled into trendy accessories and soft furnishing products, even their packaging is designed to be plastic-free. A big part of mindful fashion is post-sale garment life and care. Threads of tradition are woven with love to last year after year in your wardrobe as heirloom pieces, so you can weave away your style the Khadi way with Weavers Stores.
