Today, on Voices For Local, Monisha speaks to Santanu Das, the founder of Maku Textiles, a textile and clothing label that has its roots in the slow fiber movement and the use of handwoven cloth. Santanu explains his emotional connect to jamdani and Dhakai, creating a global community of clients, why he wanted to revive an artform like Tangail, having a collaborative working relationship with weavers, and how Maku fabric found its way onto Game of Thrones. To check out Maku Textiles’ work, follow their journey on Instagram @makutextiles. And to keep up with Monisha Singh Katial, follow her on Instagram @monishasinghkatial.
