About Weavers Studio in 5/1 Anil Moitra Rd, 1st Floor, Kolkata
Having been in the field of textiles since the past 22 years, Weavers Studio, founded by Mrs Darshan Shah, has established its position by setting up hand-block printing, hand weaving, hand embroidery, value addition and tailoring units in the vicinity of Kolkata, employing 250 plus crafts persons directly and many more indirectly, to produce authentic, intricate and traditional Indian textiles.Our designs not only cater to the Indian markets but also to International markets. We try to find that delicate balance between vibrant Indian designs and western/contemporary silhouettes. The designs that come out of our studio are a fresh outlook on traditional wear, lending it an easy grace and elegance while maintaining cuts that don’t overwhelm the wearer. We host a diverse range of Indian craftsmanship with our pieces sporting everything from Kantha work to Shibori and Jamdani. Today, besides epitomizing ancient Indian weaving techniques, we also want to apex weaving India’s rich art & culture onto one platform.
Our three production units, Rangeen, together employ close to a 100 craftspeople producing approximately 700 meters of hand dyed, hand painted, hand block printed and tie dye cloth a day and another 500 craftspeople are employed for weaving, embroideries, surface decorations and tailoring.
In addition to catering to the needs of our nationwide clientele for the last 22 years, we have been exporting through our export division "Veda Commercial Pvt. Ltd" under the brand name "Weavers Studio", having a strong international presence, in Japan, Europe and Australia for the last 19 years. We have worked on international films as well.
We have a design repertoire consisting of more than 1,00,000 wooden blocks, 1000 plus screens, 2500 textile and fashion reference books, magazines and journals on textiles, fashion, 850 old and rare textiles from India and abroad and a R & D team that has worked on topics as varied as Trade Textiles, Ocean Trade, Woven Cargoes, Khadi, Jamdani Indigo Dyeing in Africa, Vietnam, India, China, Thailand Japan and many others.
Workshops are held at regular intervals for exchanging views and evolving new ideas at our Textile Resource Centre. This also helps to nurture awareness for textile design. It also conducts extensive studies in natural dyes, especially Indigo and research of trade textiles, their history and reproduction for revival and contemporary usage. The experience, textual knowledge and collectables that the studio has gained in the field of textiles over the years is presented in the library for the benefit of its employees, diploma project and design school students from fashion and design institutes like NIFT, INIFD, NID and Wigan & Leigh. They are encouraged to do their training, internship and diploma projects with this infrastructural support.
Weaver’s Studio truly is attempting in every way to maintain India’s rich heritage in craftsmanship by collaborating it with modern techniques and in doing so we hope to create a niche of our own, one you keep returning to.
Also, Mrs Darshan Shah has always believed in promoting the arts, in any form; performing and non-performing arts, such as music, dance, paintings, sculptures, theatre and movies. One of her efforts is Weavers Studio Centre for the Arts. It looks to garden talent and nurture creativity. We have a space in Kolkata, India that gives upcoming and established artists a space to perform/display their work.
Another initiative is Weavers Studio Resource Centre. We have adopted a cluster of 9 villages in Bhangore 1 area of South 24 Paraganas with a vision of providing basic healthcare, sanitation, education & employment to the 4500 plus residents.
So far, more than 1800 people have been medically assessed, treated for various ailments and given free medicines, 40 cataract surgeries done & more than 400 spectacles have been distributed at 7 general camps and free eye checkup was conducted at 13 primary schools for 1600 students. We hope to continue doing more good.
