      Aagor, a Bodo word meaning \u201cmotifs\u201d, not just has its rural connect in the name, but also in its craftswomen and administration. Registered as a separate trust, aagor involves over a hundred women weavers, largely from the Bodo tribe. Holding on to the traditional motifs that are inspired from nature \u2013 daorai mekhrep or wink of a peacock, dinkhiya or fern, kasau bikha or chest of a turtle \u2013 some of the best designers collaborate with rural weavers to bring out fashionable outfits with strong traditional designs.<\/p>\n

      Having made its debut with bright coloured wrap-around skirts, stoles and jackets, Aagor quickly expanded its range to traditional Indian wear like kurtas, tops, pants, and even home furnishing. Every Aagor product bears a story of a woman who either get to send their children to school or break out of the bondage of being poorly paid housemaids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Some of the biggest handloom brands like Fab India, Big Bazaar, Mother Earth and Tribes have been Aagor\u2019s clients. Many buyers get amazed at the quality products sold by a non-profit organisation based in remote, strife-torn Bodoland area of Assam that is run by the weavers themselves!!<\/p>\n
