Heera Handlooms Producer Company Limited

Heera Handlooms Producer Company Limited operates out of House No 504 in Kostapara 1. It’s a very local thing. We work with weavers who have been doing this their whole lives. The house is often full of the sounds of people talking and the smell of dyed yarn. Handlooms take a long time and a lot of patience. We aren't a factory with big machines. Everything is done by hand, the old way. We started this company to help keep the local traditions going without losing too much money. It’s a struggle sometimes. The market wants things fast and cheap, but handloom isn't like that. We spend our days checking the quality of the weaves and talking to the families who make them. Kostapara is a tight-knit community. Everyone knows everyone else’s business. We don't have a big marketing budget or a fancy website. We just show the cloth to people who appreciate it. Sometimes the colors don't come out exactly the same, but that’s the beauty of handmade stuff. We keep the records in a big notebook. It’s a bit messy, but we know where everything is. It feels good to be part of something that’s been around for generations, even if it's just a small office in a house. It keeps us connected to where we came from.
