Description
In Kerala, the land of coconut trees, we find a way to create utility from every part of that tree. For decades, making coir by processing coconut fibre has been a source of livelihood for a significant share of the population in this region. Coconut fibre is processed into strands and these strands are twisted together to form coir. Later coir is dyed with beautiful colours. Our artisans in Alleppey district of Kerala use this coir to make baskets. A basket completely made of natural materials, symbolising the spirit of Kerala.

In Kerala, during good old days, one of the first activity in the morning during summer is to fill a "kooja" (an earthen pot) with water. The kooja perspires and cools the water and it quenches the thirst of everyone in the household with cool water. In olden days, people used to drink water from Kooja using a small bowl called "coppa" or "pinjanam". Here is an attempt to recreate the way of serving some naturally cooled water.

Two sets of interlacing yarns, the warp (length) and weft (width), are woven on a loom hand-operated by weavers. These looms do not use electricity. Human handling lends the fabrics a unique feel and renders the fabrics more value. The resultant fabric is softer, more durable and much more comfortable than machine-made fabrics. Handloom cotton is more breathable and thus feels lighter in summers and provides more insulation in winters. The dyeing process also becomes easier for handloom cotton as the colour penetration is substantially more. Hues are absorbed better thus look resplendent on handloom cotton. The art of hand weaving is labour intensive and takes a longer time. But, the beauty it adds to the fabric is priceless. Choosing handloom cotton supports the rich weaving heritage of India and lets the weavers carry on the precious art-form to the future generations as well.
