Launched in 2018 by sisters Vatsala and Vedika Chopra as a way to revive a slower way of life and responsible living, Veaves is now repository of amazing designs on diffident fabrics. “Veaves becomes a vessel for weaving captivating stories that intertwine the journeys of the creators, the products, and the customers who embrace them, transcending geographical boundaries,” says Vedika. The duo believes that Veaves is more than just a brand—it is a gateway to a world where tales are spun with every warp and weft. “We invite you to join us on this enchanting journey, where the loom becomes a vessel for stories that honour heritage, elevate artistry, and connect souls across the vast tapestry of humanity,” she adds.

USP “With every thread we meticulously select, every artisan we collaborate with, and every design we create, our commitment to care shines through. We understand that the revival of this time-honoured craft requires nurturing, support, and a deep appreciation for its significance,” says Vatsala.
