India has produced some of the most extraordinarily skilled craftsmen in the world.

The weaver who has spent 30 years on the same loom and whose hands know things that cannot be written down. The dyer who can look at a colour batch and tell you in seconds whether the tone is right.

The designer, the carder, the spinner, the washer and the finisher each one a master in his craft working in perfect symphony to create something unique.

Every person in this craft plays a specific role. And when it all comes together – when the wool, the colour, the design, and the weaving align, what emerges is something genuinely extraordinary.

I work with these people every day and I am genuinely in awe of them.

To every craftsman and woman who puts their hands and their knowledge into what we make –

Thank you.

What you do is extraordinary.

And the world is a more beautiful place because of it.

Happy Independence Day 🇮🇳
