Our Story
From the looms of Kuthampully to your wardrobe, preserving centuries of Kerala's handloom heritage.
The legacy of Kuthampully
Kuthampully, a small village in the Thrissur district of Kerala, is well known as a centre of traditional handloom weaving. The weavers of Kuthampully are descendants of the Devanga community, who migrated from the Mysore region and settled here, bringing with them an extraordinary craft that has become an integral part of Kerala's cultural identity.
The tradition is renowned for its distinctive kasavu (golden border) sarees and mundus, an essential part of every Kerala celebration, from Onam to weddings. Each piece is woven on traditional pit looms using techniques passed down through generations.
