The Vision of Renewal
The name “Punar” means renewal and transformation, perfectly encapsulating the company’s mission. Punar blends traditional handloom craftsmanship with innovative eco-conscious practices, using rejuvenated yarn made from upcycled landfill textile waste. This approach transforms discarded textiles into high-quality, sustainable products, including ethical luxury gifts, fashion textiles, and homewares.

Founded by Priya Ravindra Kalyanimath, a proud Boroondara resident, and one of Success Magazine’s 2024 Top 25 Change Makers worldwide, Punar prioritizes people and the planet in everything it does

Crafting Sustainably
Punar’s products are handcrafted using zero-emission handloom fabrics and adhere to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Free from toxins and chemicals, these creations are designed to respect and protect nature. By combining modern sustainability practices with traditional artistry, Punar sets a new benchmark for eco-friendly and ethical production.

Empowering Women Artisans
Punar’s social impact is profound. Collaborating with women-owned handloom microbusinesses in India, the company creates safe, fair-paying jobs and fosters economic independence for artisans. Through a supplier code of conduct, Punar ensures fair wages, reasonable working hours, and supportive work environments, transforming lives and communities. In an industry where women make up 70% of the workforce but are among the most underpaid, Punar’s initiatives drive systemic change.

Tradition Meets Innovation
Punar revitalizes the handloom industry by merging centuries-old traditions with modern sustainability innovations. By diverting textile waste from landfills and converting it into high-quality yarn, Punar reduces environmental harm while honouring the rich heritage of handloom weaving.
