About Us

Kannaki started very small. It began as a WhatsApp group and a tiny storeroom on the first floor of an old building in our village. With limited resources but a lot of heart, we eventually opened a small physical store near Calicut University and stayed connected with you through WhatsApp and Instagram. Today, Kannaki has grown into a brand trusted across Kerala, with a close-knit family of customers of all ages.

For us, Kannaki has always been so much more than a business. It’s a labor of love. We travel directly to weaving villages across India to source our materials straight from the artisans who make them. We spend time in their homes and workshops, learning about the fabrics and the unique stories woven into them, handpicking every single piece with respect and care.

Kannaki is our humble attempt to honor the hard work of thousands of weavers and keep our country's traditional weaving, dyeing, and fabric-making arts alive. When you buy from Kannaki, you aren't just shopping—you are becoming a vital part of this vision. You are helping sustain honest livelihoods and keeping ancient heritage thriving. It is an invitation to truly connect with, wear, and celebrate India's deep culture and traditions.

Every step of our journey has been fueled by limited resources but unlimited passion. More than anything, it has been driven by you. The incredible love, warmth, and encouragement you have showered on our little initiative gave us the strength to dream bigger. We are taking our next big leap. We are bringing Kannaki straight to your fingertips with our new online store. 

We are so incredibly grateful for the love you have shown us so far. We hope you will continue to stay by our side and walk with us through this new chapter.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.

With love,

Team Kannaki
