THE STORY:
A master weaver at a young age. Only 24, Arun shows off an amazing traditional handloom collection with creative flair based on skills passed on from his father and elder brother, Kachchh, India. Arun started learning and applying new skills at a very young age. Then went on to study further in 2015 at a handloom school in Maheshwar for 3 intensive months.
Arun continued to refine his skills professionally by creating special wool “Dhabla” (blankets). He has gradually expanded into working with a variety of fibres such as many forms of wool, cotton, silk and linen yarns and creates unique shawls, stoles, scarves, woven fabric, saree and much more.
