The Thirubuvanam Silk Handloom

Our weaving place is located on Sannathi Street in Thiruvidaimaruthur, specifically the Thirubhuvanam area. The Thirubuvanam Silk Handloom is a traditional setup. We’ve been working with silk for a long time, and the looms are always going. It’s a bit noisy with the clatter of the machinery, but it’s a sound we’re used to. We don't have a fancy showroom or shiny glass windows. It’s more of a working space where the silk actually gets made. People come to this street specifically for silk, so we just focus on what we’re doing. The process takes a lot of time and patience, and there’s no way to rush it if you want it done right. We don't use any big words to describe our work. It’s just silk weaving, plain and simple. Sometimes the threads tangle or the patterns take longer than we thought, but that’s just part of the job. Our families have been around this trade for generations, so it’s just what we know. If you come by Sannathi Street, you’ll see us working. We don't spend money on ads; we just let the fabric speak for itself when people touch it. It’s a quiet kind of business, tucked away in a place that cares about these old ways. We keep the doors open and just keep the shuttles moving back and forth all day long.
