Meet weaver Rahat Ali
Such a young weaver! That’s what we thought when we first met weaver Rahat Ali. He is just 25 years old and have been weaving sarees from last five to six years. He has inherited his weaving talent from his father. Both Rahat and his father work together and create banarasi master pieces from their loom. They mostly work with silk yarn and their preferred motifs are flowers and animal figures.
Typically, the family makes 1 to 2 sarees and 3 to 4 dupattas in a month.
The father and son duo mostly sell their products via Central Cottage Industries, through local dealers and shops. Weavesmart.com is their first exposure to selling online.
In Rahat has been excited and happy to be associated with Weavesmart as with little efforts he has been able to display his products to many customers. He says that within one week of registering with Weavesmart he has been able to sell his sarees and dupattas sitting at his house.
