Episode Summary: 

In this episode, we delve into the inspiring journey of Iba, the visionary founder of Kiniho, a sustainable fashion brand rooted in the heritage weaving traditions of Meghalaya. Iba shares how her passion for textiles and her love for nature led her to leave a corporate career in Bangalore to reconnect with her roots. 

She recounts the challenges of reviving the nearly dying art of Eri silk handweaving, working closely with her community, and navigating the world of sustainable fashion. Iba explains the significance of Eri silk, its eco-friendly process, and its cultural importance, while shedding light on the innovative ways Kiniho blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. We also explore the creation of the Cocoon Collection, a deeply personal project symbolizing comfort, belonging, and sustainability. Join us for a heartwarming conversation about resilience, heritage, and the transformative power of community-driven initiatives.
