We just had to put this great video up on our new website here at “HomeandInteriors.co.uk”, great filming, lovely music and very informative of the Artisan Manufacturing process in this country. The following is straight from Susie’s overview about this particular factory owned by Mr Ravi:

We have been very fortunate to find the perfect partner in Mr Ravi. His family-run business in rural Southern India is home to a multitude of talented artists. We’re thrilled to be able to show people where our products are made and how much work goes into every item…

All of our textiles are traditionally dyed and woven. A process that is overseen by Mr Ravi, a master weaver. He is recognised for his beautiful colours and an enormous amount of effort goes into creating every shade. Kartik, an artisan in embroidery, supervises the cutting & stitching of every item. Each heart, flower and bird are cut out individually. Each piece is entirely handmade with a huge amount of skill and care.

All the expertise, coupled with lots of enthusiasm, makes the workshop an ideal setting for origination. Susie spends at least four weeks a year there creating first samples of new designs.

We hope you enjoy the film – let us know what you think.
