Field notes. Real voices. The work behind the work.
Every project we walk into has its own grammar — a loom in Sahaspur sounds different from a kitchen-table enterprise in Dimapur. These are the notes we keep along the way: the conversations, the unfinished thoughts, the things we want to remember.
The week the loom learnt the market — and the market quietly listened back.
Eight months in Sahaspur. A 14-piece capsule line, a costing template you can fold into a pocket, and the quiet, unglamorous work of pricing a stole the weaver can stand behind. A long read on what changes when the conversation does.
The week the loom learnt the market.
Eight months, 120 women, a 14-piece capsule — and a costing template the weaver actually uses.
Why the young weaver in Dimapur is choosing to stay.
On youth-led enterprise in the North-East — a generation deciding the loom is not what they're leaving behind.
Costing with dignity — a one-page template that travelled home.
The slowest, most important workshop in any cohort: how do you price a thing you have made with your hands?
Six women, six businesses, one shared spreadsheet.
From home-based craft to a costed, photographed, shippable collection — a mentorship cohort at the halfway mark.
A slower kind of marketplace.
Three days, eighteen makers, one Goan villa. Notes on curating commerce that breathes — and the conversations that buy.
Notes from the studio in Shahpur Jat.
First-floor light, a kettle on, samples on the floor. Seven things we have been thinking about this season.
A quieter newsletter — once a month.
One story, one field photograph, one piece of paper from the studio. No marketing. No noise. Sent on the first Sunday.
