Selvi Ramasamy

Cane & jute weaving

Thondamuthur, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu

Their journey

“Plants give us the fibre. We only give them a new shape.”

Weaves cane and hand-twisted jute into bags and storage for modern homes.

Selvi began weaving cane chairs with her father and moved to bags when a local self-help group asked for smaller, lighter products. She sources cane from a cooperative in the hills and twists jute by hand for handles and coils.
