About Association of Corporations & Apex Societies of Handlooms

History:

The Association of Corporations & Apex Societies of Handlooms was established in 1984 under the chairmanship of the Development Commissioner for Handlooms, with a vision to uplift the weaver community and promote the rich heritage of handlooms across India. Created by the State-Level Handloom Organizations, including Apex Handloom Cooperative Societies, Handloom Corporations, and Handloom Federations, this initiative was instrumental in providing essential support to weavers.

The association played a pivotal role in marketing of handlooms through domestic and international exhibitions and direct supply to government departments. By bridging the gap between the weavers and the market, the association has significantly contributed to the socio-economic development of artisan communities across the country.

Present Scenario:

Over the years, the association has grown into an independent entity, expanding its vision and scope. Recently, it has ventured into retail, catering to modern consumers with a wide range of products including ladies' garments like Sarees, Suits, Kurtas, Coord Sets and many more to come. This new initiative brings the timeless charm of handloom textiles into the everyday lives of people, ensuring that traditional craftsmanship thrives in a contemporary setting.

By empowering weavers, supporting sustainable livelihoods, and offering authentic handloom products, the Association of Corporations & Apex Societies of Handlooms continues to play a crucial role in preserving India’s rich textile heritage while adapting to evolving market needs.
