Vasanthi Veluri (Peoli)
from Voices for Local with Monisha Singh Katial Hosted by Maed in India
Today, on Voices For Local, Monisha takes to the hills, as she speaks to Vasanthi Veluri whose brand Peoli is based in Almora, Uttarakhand. Peoli works with artisans and farming communities of the Kumaon region, using hand spun, naturally dyed pure materials to make premium hand knit apparel. Vasanthi talks to Monisha about always putting the artisan’s needs first, reviving the craft of hand-spun wool, using natural dyes from sources like walnut hulls and flowers, and how Peoli used only harvested rainwater for an entire year. To check out Peoli’s work, log onto www.peoli.in or follow their journey on Instagram @peolidesign. And to keep up with Monisha Singh Katial, follow her on Instagram @monishasinghkatial.
