However please note that we work with skilled artisans who take care in producing the best quality handmade fabrics, therefore larger quantities and other demands on our production schedule may incur longer lead times. Our Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is 15m and our maximum order is 300m per month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1559896469288-GNUHJDJ47GSA096QN4AB/square2.jpg Work With Us - SAMPLES There are many different variables to consider when designing fabrics therefore we believe that good communication is important and we recommend a Skype call or visit to discuss designs and options. Once a design has been finalised we can transfer it onto our specification sheet for the weavers and they can begin to produce the samples. It is during sampling that we can calculate lead times and dye costs therefore a quote will be issued post sample. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1559896624962-DY4HAD90Z59LDG1CJ4ES/square3.jpg Work With Us - ORDERS Once samples are approved we will email one of our Purchase Order Forms. When this is completed and received we will send you an invoice. In order to ensure our artisans are paid on time we ask that you pay 70% of the invoiced amount to confirm your order. The remaining 30% is payable within 10 days of dispatch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1559896887383-54SFHXMFX7VB1VY2GF11/square4.jpg Work With Us - DELIVERY We are able to organise delivery by air and sea to anywhere in the world. We work with a number of reputable freight couriers including DHL and FedEx. Once paperwork is completed and the order is dispatched, all responsibility of delivery is between the courier company and customer however we do recommend insurance, which we can organise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1559896990684-ACORC8R40ONBI0OVN3WM/square5.jpg Work With Us - TRACEABILITY We will provide you as designers, and your clients, with full traceability of your product. From the thread, through the dyeing and weaving everything is done in-house and we can provide full information on any detail upon request, including the name of the weaver and production times from beginning to end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1559218740944-AHMMOE2B2OYX68GLKCZ7/image-asset.jpeg Work With Us - Our Clients https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1559219943963-QKFFBVMP74QKIH1DK5AZ/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-05-30%2Bat%2B14.38.01.jpg Work With Us - ARTISANS OF FASHION https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1559892452240-D3OTYVH71JB0FVF9I7YI/HS-8778-CK.jpg Work With Us - HANDWORK STUDIO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1559220072705-67GRWO86AXVFZ2ZGQJBS/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-05-30%2Bat%2B14.30.02.jpg Work With Us - JYOTI FAIR WORKS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1559897940482-IKPWDBR3B0CA4GVYEDRL/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-06-07%2Bat%2B10.57.44.jpg Work With Us - MAKU TEXTILES https://www.7weaves.com/work-with-us daily 0.75 2020-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1580483740977-WUEIBMCMD37GFB0IWG6L/DSC01065_Original.jpg Our Products https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1580483626889-9NAX2VBP93CWFMN0X694/DSC01059.jpg Our Products - Hand-Spun Eri silk cannot be reeled into raw filament yarn, it is a short staple fibre and therefore must be spun, like wool. It is this quality that sets it apart from other silks, creating beautiful textures and various weight options. Spinning by hand requires a light touch that is ingrained in both muscle memory and culture. The spinners use a combination of pedal powered spinning wheels and the traditional drop spindle technique. Mostly a skill preserved by mothers, this role offers an alternative income to women of all ages. Our silk comes in three weights, “a”, “b” + “c”, with “a” being the finest and “c” being the thickest. Our standard fabrics employ “a” for the warp and “b” for the weft, however thread weights vary depending on the weave structure and design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1580483684807-1A3O6H45CNREADTZPNLF/DSC01136.jpg Our Products - Hand dyed The dye knowledge of the indigenous communities of Assam is as valuable as their weaving. Dyeing with plants such as Indigo and Madder has it’s own rich story in this part of Asia and continuing the journey is an important part of it’s preservation. More than thirty different natural dye materials are available from the local woodlands, including leaves, seeds, roots and vines. We use only sustainable, regenerative plants that can be re-planted on forest land and avoid harvesting any materials that cause harm to living plants. All processes are done by hand without the use of toxic chemicals, instead involving time, patience and expert knowledge. We can achieve a wide range of colours combining natural dyes such as turmeric, lac, Indigo, Indian madder, teak and iron. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1580483658602-SUAUKEXBC51MLB1YJLKL/IMG_20190521_145225002-2.jpg Our Products - Hand woven Once dyed, the yarn is hand woven into fabric, with the artisans using a variety of different traditional techniques passed down through generations. In Assam, every house has a loom and every woman is a weaver. This sense of community is at the heart of all we do, and the weavers take considerable pride in creating these luxurious hand-woven fabrics. Using hand looms allows for greater freedom of creativity with designs, without the constraints of uniform power looms. This focus on handcraft allows us to provide a range of specialized fabrics from plain weave to bespoke fabrics with extra weft techniques. We currently work primarily with pure Eri silk, however our handloom process does allow for a mix of other sustainable fibres such as hemp and tree cotton to create different strengths, weights and textures. https://www.7weaves.com/about daily 0.75 2020-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1580481418385-67KL3B4ABAMGMPNAZMRR/DSC00429+copy.jpg Our Values https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1580546862255-VM8XYJURR66PGNII4TDW/SaurabhSawant_MG_37701.jpg Our Values - Biodiversity Our environment is key to our future survival, therefore all our decisions focus on the question, “is this sustainable?”. The Indo-Burmese region is currently one of the planet’s most biologically rich — but also heavily threatened regions. 7Weaves creates opportunities for forest communities to integrate into the world economy, preserving forest eco-systems through traditional knowledge whilst sustainably using natural resources and conserving the balance of nature. Our model is unique in that with an increase in production comes an increase in environmental protection. Mosaic planting for both fodder and natural dye plants is interspersed with traditional crops and forest on tribal land. This fulfils the needs of farm families whilst preserving native plant species and discourages a harmful single-species agro-industry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1580547088152-2VFITH4OT66A91FV63BB/IMG_4790.jpg Our Values - Indigenous Communities Sericulture has been an important part of life in North East India for countless generations. Although the tradition is in decline, every village in the Loharghat Forest is home to many skilled artisans who have the knowledge to farm, cultivate, spin, dye and weave Eri silk. From worm to weave, our production is carried out by forest community members in centres on their own land or in their own homes, without the use of industrial processes. Moving away from factory based models, we utilise methods with minimal disruption and maximum benefit to the communities. In doing so, we can provide full traceability to our clients whilst offering a wide range of options and fabric choices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1580547243353-NBLM3I69ALZBK582AZCT/DSC00689%2Bcopy.jpg Our Values - Economic Freedom These rural indigenous communities hold few rights over their forests, which are at risk from encroaching development. Ensuring a strong, sustainable economic system is paramount in ensuring a future for the people, the knowledge they hold and protecting their land and their culture. Working closely with the artisans in a collaborative manner allows us to strengthen our relationship with the whole community. This supports the preservation of traditional weaving techniques whilst celebrating cultural knowledge. We provide guaranteed, salaried work for artisans year round and distribute 50 per cent of our profits annually to our workers, creating a living wage for artisans and other participants in the supply chain. By such ‘profit re-distribution’ we hope to create a new model of ethical business, where workers are the beneficiaries of profit orientation. https://www.7weaves.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1559899698559-N7KW1WYBX5OZWDIS8B50/IMG_4302.jpg Contact https://www.7weaves.com/team daily 0.75 2025-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1590401191053-1VTX3QXMFN3G6ELACZEQ/DSC01282_Original.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1590401318921-IUWISCBQ6WDD0IU02GNR/DSC01269_Original.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1590401699287-F5X99ZFC4JBJQMS7ID83/DSC01272_Original.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1591015177730-E6V3Y8HQEHGVZ9H57LUH/IMG_0756.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1590322128536-3KTPJNCDWKCYK9SO7YVM/DSC01290_Original.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/ef30b1b4-5952-4bf3-9059-7fab7c0673e8/20200228_120223+%282%29.jpg Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/e282fc57-f4f4-4e09-8d2d-50d9aabc66c3/JPEG+image+2.jpg Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1590665236363-AEBLQYHZ452ZTVDJ0VW6/002a-3.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/fc8f7ce4-f129-4f83-9a29-40e48b4d8ef6/IMG_6988.jpg Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1590318429122-SBNNOD6K0T5GOJ3600SX/Yves+Hausser.jpg Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1590665288489-M79UW9M3TSN0G0FBBOG9/IMG_9139.JPG Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/2ec3f1cc-ba38-48e1-a6ae-648738b975f5/IMG_1280.JPG Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1590402405754-BELBNKWO4TW9J3XA7YCO/IMG_4939.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1590665376990-HLYL5BYYSIY78JAZ4TOO/ade3f109-0420-4c2f-8ab9-6320d419e761.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/1590323374891-WD3DWUV3YKJ58VKK99HP/Profile%2BPic%2BMathew-3.jpg Team https://www.7weaves.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2021-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/ed82019d-3557-4b1a-94d1-626c2bd901b8/Premier+Vison+Team+7WEAVES.JPG Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/bd66eb5e-bef7-401f-8dbf-4c721710254b/A-S-5-2-a.5.jpg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cef61601fef1f00016eda1a/eaf01893-4f37-4946-a301-45e77f242408/20200909_135452.jpg Press https://www.7weaves.com/details daily 0.75 2025-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b44e4e5365f02ee34e659ec/1538155157102-ZGOOJ4QG9X9APSD76Z4C/Stocksy_comp_1887532.jpg Details https://www.7weaves.com/store daily 0.75 2024-01-20
