The Kufri mission is to champion the craft of handloom weaving, to provide employment to women and aging weavers, and promote a conscious, beautiful life at home through their products.
Founder, Mili Suleman, has always been an explorer. Born in Bombay and raised in Oman, Mili came to the US to attend college. Growing up, she would tag along with the women in her family as they shopped in fabric stores filled with brocades, silks and chiffons, designing their own clothing to be tailored by skillful dressmakers. These experiences planted the seeds of a lifelong love affair with textiles and product development – helping Mili practice the process of material discovery, design and collaboration with artisans, which would later become the bedrock for Kufri.
Kufri is a joyful exploration of the quiet magic of the handmade. Mili’s passion for preserving heritage textile methods inspire her to create soulful, process-driven textiles that find beauty in the wabi-sabi, creating an irresistible tactile landscape,
