TRIWEA

TRIWEA TRIWEA is a co-creative and collaborative social enterprise dedicated to preserving the indigenous weaving tradition of the Northeast, particularly focusing on the Garo, Hajong, Koch, and Rabha Tribes in Meghalaya, situated in the sub-Himalayan region. The tribal weaves showcase unique motifs and patterns inspired by nature, with each tribe contributing to the rich tapestry of local artistry. Our mission is to empower women weavers by valuing and validating their traditional skills. At the core of TRIWEA, is a passion to nurture a co-creative and collaborative platform involving skilled weavers, spinners, artisans, designers and other stakeholders within the slow fashion industry. The objective is to create exclusive eco-conscious craft products that not only represent heritage and craftsmanship but also provide sustainable livelihood options for women in Meghalaya. From exquisitely woven shawls to elegant stoles, cozy mufflers, and enchanting materials, each piece at TRIWEA narrates a story of cultural heritage and a commitment to ethical practices. When you choose a product from TRIWEA, you are not merely making a purchase; you are investing in a tradition, supporting artisans' livelihoods, and contributing to the preservation of our rich cultural heritage and protection of sub-Himalayan habitat. In pursuit of preserving the indigenous hand-weaving tradition, TRIWEA establishes decentralised common facility centres in respective villages, fostering a flourishing ecosystem of interconnected local craft communities. Our approach involves collaboration with local to global artists, artisans, and designers to co-create products that enrich the market with a diverse range. Together, TRIWEA celebrates the grace of slow fashion, sustainability, and the rich tapestry of local artistry, co-creation in sustaining a meaningful and ethical approach to fashion.
