House of Noorie is a micro handloom initiative working with indigenous communities of Assam to reclaim their textile language and identities. We work with everyday rural women who weave on the rudimentary loom as a way of life. Such a structure of the loom influences the aesthetic of the clothes our weavers make, which is also our primary design inspiration. We also tell stories from the communities in an ethnographic spirit in order to study, preserve and recreate lost design histories, which are primarily passed down from one generation (of women) to another orally. HoN comprises 10-15 weavers so far who work on and off depending on their convenience. We encourage practices such as hand spinning, especially with the Eri silk yarn, along with natural dye practices. HoN is strictly plastic-free and we refrain from using anything polyester either in the selection of yarns or packaging choices.
