Born from a modest endeavor in 1993, Heirloom Naga transforms ancient loin-loom techniques into contemporary textile expressions. Under founder Jesmina Zeliang's visionary guidance, each piece honors Nagaland's rich cultural legacy while embracing modern aesthetics.
Behind every weave stand over 450 skilled artisans from nine Naga tribes, each working within their home sanctuaries. These cultural custodians—primarily women—create with cotton and eri silk, preserving indigenous patterns while earning sustainable livelihoods that stem migration and foster circular economies.
By partnering with Heirloom Naga, we continue our commitment to supporting makers who transform ancient craftsmanship into living tradition—where each thread connects past wisdom to present purpose and future possibility.
