PEACE SILK CLUSTER

Peace silk, also known as Ahimsa silk, is an eco-friendly fabric crafted without harming silkworms. For the artisans and communities in West Bengal, Peace Silk holds deep-rooted traditions and is a means of sustainable livelihood generation, preserving their craft and cultural heritage.

Currently, Anuprerna collaborates with Peace Silk artisans in 10 clusters situated in the districts of Burdwan and Murshidabad in West Bengal. Our extensive network allows us to impact the lives of numerous artisans and their families, preserving this sustainable craft.

They are usually community-based and centered around a village environment. The artisans, often from the same family, enjoy an inclusive society where they participate in festivals, functions, and ceremonies together. Home workshops are common, and both men and women play essential roles in the process.

Anuprerna's mission is to support and empower the Peace Silk artisans, preserving their rich heritage. By collaborating with these artisans, Anuprerna helps provide them with sustainable livelihood opportunities, education for their children, and improved healthcare for their families. Through fair pricing and global recognition, we aim to increase the value of their work, leading to higher wages and improved living conditions.

Although we at Anuprerna create designs, we highly value the creative input and expertise of our artisans. We work collaboratively with them, encouraging their involvement in the design process. They adopt sustainable techniques in the production process, ensuring the creation of high-quality Matka Peace silk.
