The Rabha Women Weavers Association based in West Bengal was launched in early 2016 with seed funding from Sprout Enterprise®. Sixteen Rabha women received training, initial supplies and materials, and support for design development and marketing during the association's first year of operation from Sarmistha Lahiri, founder and secretary of Hast Karigar Society, a membership based organization of traditional artisans, weavers and folk painters.
Sales of handwoven textiles, like this lunghi, these women weavers produce now provide an income to these women as well as provide support for the ongoing operation of the association for marketing and sales support.
A lunghi is a traditional garment in South and Southeast Asia worn wrapped around the waist. Wear as a sarong at the beach, or as a colorful throw across your sofa, for beautiful, boho-style.
