This studio designs silk home furnishings such as throws, curtains, bedspreads, table runners and cushion covers. Weavers nearby make the fabric to your design, and your team does the cutting, stitching, lining and packing. Everything sells under your own label.
Home furnishing in eri, muga and Assam silk is Kamrup Metropolitan's one-district-one-product, and Guwahati is where much of the region's silk is designed, finished and sold. The silk-weaving town of Sualkuchi is a short drive away. Much of the yarn and loose fabric still goes to traders unfinished, so weavers and silkworm rearers keep little of the final price. A studio that turns that fabric into well-made pieces sized for modern homes keeps more of that price, and can pay weavers better for good work.
You need GST, Udyam registration, a few stitching machines, a skilled tailor and a good eye for colour and size. Learn to tell pure muga and eri from blends, because serious buyers will ask. The hard part is steady quality from handlooms and slow early sales: hand-woven silk is costly, and unsold stock ties up cash.
Sell to interior designers and Guwahati hotels, to tourists through emporiums and gift shops, and online to buyers across India. Craft fairs and exhibitions help you test designs before you order larger batches.
