Seegehalli was traditional having a weaving community of which only few families remain. These families are at the mercy of the well-known ''Showrooms " & "Boutiques" and receive a meagre amount for their work. Its best that we all collectively support the local artisans as well as get the materials directly from them so that the middlemen in the business are completely avoided to prevent exploitation!
The weavers customize according to the design patterns (available / provided) & availability of materials (type, price, quantity) as per the Customer's demand. For any new design there has to be a bulk order. The rates would vary based on the materials used and amount of time spent in weaving.
They are not into Handloom cotton / cotton silk unless there is a bulk order.
