Pure Handloom Karbi Stole

In the mist-covered hills of Assam, the Karbi community has long carried forward a weaving tradition that reflects identity, memory, and everyday life. For generations, Karbi women have woven textiles on simple handlooms set within their homes, often passing skills from mother to daughter. Each stole created on these looms carries quiet stories of the land—lush forests, rhythmic festivals, and a deep respect for nature. The Pure Handloom Karbi Stole is a continuation of this living heritage, shaped by patient hands and cultural pride.

Cultural Significance of the Karbi Stole

Among the Karbi people, woven textiles are more than adornment. They mark celebrations, community gatherings, and daily wear, symbolizing grace and dignity. Traditionally crafted in cotton for comfort in Assam’s humid climate, these stoles reflect simplicity balanced with subtle detailing. Worn during rituals or casual outings, the Karbi stole represents harmony between tradition and everyday living.

The Handloom Weaving Process

The making of a Karbi stole begins with fine cotton yarns, carefully chosen for softness and durability. The yarn is prepared, aligned, and set on a handloom where the artisan weaves each thread slowly, maintaining even tension and rhythm. Patterns are formed through thoughtful placement rather than mechanical repetition, giving the fabric a natural flow. The white base reflects purity and versatility, while the woven texture adds depth without overpowering simplicity.
