My Story

My weaving story began by chance during a journey through the East. Alongside exploring new places and cultural encounters, I sought to learn and experience the various handcrafts that crossed my path.

During my search, I discovered Sunil's workshop in a small village in the Indian Himalayas, specializing in weaving wool shawls. I was captivated by the region's traditional weaving style, rich in the vibrant colors and geometric complexity that I love so much—a beauty I deeply missed in the environment where I grew up. I was equally drawn to the use of natural textile materials like sheep's wool, cotton, and pashmina, a topic very close to my heart.

I wanted to learn more and more from this world, but my initial learning period was too short—just an early taste during a long journey through South Asian countries. Yet, the passion to continue learning, combined with the feeling that I had found a place that felt like home, and people from whom I could learn so much, led me to return to this very workshop. My goal was to seriously acquire the skills of Himalayan weaving.

Through countless hours of practice and creation under close guidance, Tuvi was born—a brand that bridges ancient weaving traditions with my own contemporary designs.

Tuvi's fabrics are the fruit of collaboration between my workshop in Northern India and other rural communities and workshops I encounter on my journey. This partnership is built on fair trade practices and the use of natural raw materials, aiming to bring value and growth to the creating communities while preserving the art of slow, meticulous handwork.

For me, this is the right path to bind my inner world with the tradition of weaving. This is only the beginning of a journey, and I intend to continue wandering, learning, and refining my craft. For now, most of my creative process and journey are shared on Instagram—I invite you to follow along there.

Tevet.
