Traditionally harvested by the artisans of Manipur, this naturally insect-resistant plant is handwoven into beautiful, eco-friendly products such as mats, baskets, cushions, handbags, and storage boxes.

Kauna not only cleans the environment by absorbing toxins and metals from the water, but also provides a habitat for birds and fish. The grass is harvested when it reaches a height of 3–4 feet and then sun-dried. Before weaving, it is moistened to restore flexibility, allowing for intricate handweaving.

Kauna craft is not only a symbol of sustainable art, but also a source of income for rural women artisans. As the plant is harvested three times a year, it offers a renewable supply chain that aligns perfectly with eco-conscious production models.

Each product crafted from Kauna Grass is a celebration of natural texture, organic aesthetics, and mindful living. Lightweight, durable, and biodegradable, these handmade products suit both traditional and contemporary spaces—adding a warm, earthy elegance to homes and workplaces. Choose Kauna Grass products to bring the serenity of nature into your everyday life. Your support helps preserve a centuries-old craft while promoting environmental health and sustainable livelihoods.
