Jamdani weavers
Sonargaon
On the banks of the Shitalakshya, master weavers add each motif by hand on the loom — a craft recognised by UNESCO as a living heritage of humanity.
The Hands Behind the Craft
Our artisans
Thousands of weavers, embroiderers, dyers and printers across Bangladesh — the true authors of every Alisha Noor piece.
A handwoven garment is never the work of one person. It passes through the hands of the spinner, the dyer, the weaver, the embroiderer and the finisher — each a master of a craft their family has protected for generations. At Alisha Noor we name them, pay them fairly and design alongside them, because heritage craft survives only when the maker thrives.
Kantha embroiderers
Rajshahi & Jashore
Women's embroidery circles transform layered cotton into quilted storytelling, stitching motifs handed down across generations.
Handloom cotton
Tangail
Tangail's pit looms produce the soft, breathable cotton saris and yardage that form the backbone of our everyday collections.
Natural dyers & block printers
Sirajganj
Using indigo, lac and turmeric, our dyers and carved-block printers give each fabric its colour the slow, plant-based way.
Our promise to the maker
Craft survives only when the maker thrives
A living wage, on time
We agree a fair price before the first thread is thrown and pay it promptly — never squeezing the loom to shave a taka off the shelf price.
Work through the year
We plan collections so our weavers have steady orders across the seasons, not a festival rush followed by empty months.
Skills passed on
We fund apprenticeships so master weavers can teach the young, keeping jamdani and muslin alive for another generation.
“My grandmother wove for kings. Now her granddaughter weaves for the world — and, for the first time, we are paid what the work is worth.”
