INTRODUCTION
The philosophy at Peoli has emerged from a deep love for nature and local resources. A strong belief in celebrating and engaging indigenous skills forms the basis of our approach. We, at Peoli celebrate the essence of ‘the handmade’.
Simple functional products with minimal aesthetics have been derived from the local skill vocabulary using natural materials and dyes, for the conscious consumers who are sensitive about the resources used in the making of the item they purchase.
Each of the Peoli products is dyed using natural colors. Natural dyeing involves the collection of material, extraction of dyestuff, mordanting, dyeing and repeated washing procedures, which are labour intensive but cause no harm to the environment. It is our constant effort to ethically source natural dyestuffs, use renewable sources of energy at each stage of the process and archive the diminishing craft as a step towards creating a sustainable system of natural dyeing in Uttarakhand.
The women artisans of the hills, their dexterous hands creating pieces of comfort form the fabric of our organization. At Peoli we aim at nurturing the creativity of the hand and cultivating a culture of providing a fair means of livelihood to skilled artisans through our sustainable practices and promotion of a sustainable lifestyle.
ABOUT SHOP OWNER
As a folktale goes, Peoli was a young maiden who lived in the forest. She spent her days tending to the plants and trees of the forest with whom she shared a deep bond of love. One day, a prince who came to the forest for hunting, saw her and fell in love with the li (girl, in local language). They got married and she left the forest to live with him in the palace. Life at the palace, away from nature gradually made li sick and she eventually died. She was buried at a spot from which a plant with small yellow flowers sprouted. The spring-yellow coloured flower was named Peo-li, in memory of the girl.
