“For Puja Das, an artisan from the town of Dhakuakhana, Assam, the rhythmic clatter of her handloom is the heartbeat of her heritage. Taught by generations before her, Puja weaves the vibrant landscapes and rich folklore of the Northeast into every thread. When cheap, mass-produced fabrics threatened to silence the looms of her village, Puja refused to let her ancestral craft fade. She poured her resilience into her art, spending days meticulously crafting single pieces of wearable history. Today, through HeritageNE, Puja’s intricate weaves reach far beyond her local village to an audience that values authentic craftsmanship. Every purchase honors her painstaking skill and empowers her to train the next generation of women weavers. When you drape this handmade creation, you aren't just wearing a garment—you are keeping a beautiful Assamese tradition alive.”
