Kullvi Whims

Kullvi Whims stands for Women of Himachal Self-help group, from Kullu Valley. But the 'Whims' in our name also refers to the joy the women take in making each piece they weave or knit uniquely their own by adding little touches according to their whims and fancies to the motifs and patterns! The women are all traditional artisans, who learnt their craft practices of spinning, weaving, knitting and crochet from their family members and have mostly practiced their crafts for themselves, weaving pattus and blankets or knitting sweaters, mojiris and socks. Founded in 2012 by Nisha Subramaniam and Brighu Acharya, the brand stands for the beauty inherent in slow craft processes which match the seasonal rhythms of the mountain life of the artisans and pastoralists.
