My inspiration and my favourite weaver of course – my grandmother or Abok as we call her. Her name’s Apabi Devi and she’s a bundle of relentless energy! We don’t really know how old she is but she has enough energy and enthusiasm to put any young person to shame. She’s also well respected in the weaving circles for her skill and many vendors who sell at the iconic Ima Keithel or Mother’s Bazaar make a beeline for her beautifully woven products. I’m truly privileged to be able to have towels woven by her.

My favourite weaver!

Busy weaving Kone Wovens!
