what they say
“I went on a textile trail in my own city Delhi with Breakaway #BreakawayTrails. It was a wonderful re-discovery of own my city in the context of its rich textile heritage and legacy. Just as my city Delhi is the pot pourri of all the diverse cultures of the nation, so it is with regards to the textile heritage. “

“I can still remember all the colours and experiences of our trip.We loved our direct interaction with the printers and weavers, (a high point) and do hope that it worked for them too, even if they are/were not used to it. The overall experience was positive and most ‘special’ was meeting the artisans, which is was what we’ve come away with.”

what they say
“Breakway” introduced me to a magnificent textile industry, tucked away like a fine stitch in the quiet labyrinths of the city, waiting to be explored. I could never imagine such a pulsating industry of textile was thriving so richly within our city limits. I was charmed by the incredible weaving skills of the weavers, so painstakingly built over the years.”

what we say
For us, India’s rich textile industry is as much a part of the vibrant tapestry of the country as it is a part of the cloth that adorns its colourful population. Breakaway’s itineraries are as thoughtfully curated as the crafts that they highlight. It is one thing to appreciate the beauty of a hand block-print or a hand woven shawl, but to actually see it being made, adds a deeper level of understanding to this time-old crafts. From artists to artisans, makers and creators, Breakaway’s itineraries provide an immersive experience into the kaleidoscopic world of Indian handicrafts – and a chance to try them out for yourself!
