Meet Our Founder - Arundhathy Dinesh

Oppol_Founder_Arundhathy

As a child, I would sit cross-legged, eyes wide with wonder, as my father unraveled stories from his past, of a time when our family’s handloom thrived, its rhythmic clatter echoing through the air. The loom wasn’t just wood and thread; it was a lifeline, a home, a heartbeat. Skilled weavers worked tirelessly, their hands moving like poetry, crafting sarees that carried history in every weave.

 

 

But then, the powerloom revolution came like a storm. Faster. Cheaper. Ruthless. The hands that once wove magic were left empty. One by one, the workers left. And soon, the loom fell silent. What was once a flourishing craft became just a story, one my father told with a quiet sigh.

That silence stayed with me. It wasn’t just the loss of a business; it was the fading of a legacy. I knew then that I had to bring it back. And that’s how Oppol was born, not just as a brand, but as a tribute to those hands that once wove dreams.

Every saree at Oppol carries the soul of a weaver, the essence of heritage, and the promise of revival. When you wear an Oppol saree, you’re not just draping fabric, you’re wearing history, resilience, and the warmth of a craft that refuses to fade.

The looms are alive again. And this time, they won’t go silent.
