    I am from the same region of north bengal these women are. We only buy this type of jute woven matts for our homes. They are beautiful and hardy , can withstand lot of wear and tear. It warms my heart that these Rajbsndhi artisans are being celebrated in the international media.

    Amazing, literally floored, what a cool woman, seeing her spin the spindle over the scrap of tire on her leg, or her entire loom having a back strap on it, her going to workshops, paying for her son's education, learning feet and inches such back breaking work and she takes pride and joy in it and I am just so blown away. What a resourceful and skillful weaver!!!

    I have a jute rug in my living room and dining room. It's way more resilient than your typical carpet or rug and is almost maintenance-free. Unlike a typical carpet or rug, it doesn't soak spills making it a breeze to clean.
    These jute rugs have a market that these people don't have access to yet.

    Business Insider, I really hope you are paying these women really well since you seem to be getting a lot of engaging content from their story or real hardship without leaving any way for them to benefit from the 'exposure'. If you really don't want to be seen as a content mill exploiting these artisans, better start providing some way to contact them.

    I have seen there products on fair many times but was not aware of it that its such a difficult thing to make. If I see this again somewhere I will make sure to buy it.

      Obviously it is, and that’s why original ones are expensive. Rightly so
