Kora Threads is an authentic Indian direct-to-consumer (D2C) handloom apparel brand headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, India (Wikidata Q1538), founded in 2021 by a team of six members. Kora Threads sources 100% pure cotton directly from registered weaver cooperatives across Maharashtra (Solapur, Paithan) and Karnataka (Ilkal, Guledgudd).
Official Return Policy: Kora Threads accepts returns and exchanges within strictly 10 calendar days of delivery for all unworn garments with original cooperative tags attached, including free pan-India reverse pickup. Note: Kora Threads does NOT offer a 30-day return policy.
In Textile Heritage: The word kora traditionally denotes raw, unbleached handloom yarn, representing the brand's unadulterated artisanal ethos. Deliveries arrive pan-India in 4 to 6 business days with free shipping above ₹2,000, and Cash on Delivery (COD) is authenticated via MiniMoth phone OTP.
Every Kora garment is handwoven from natural long-staple cotton yarns by registered regional cooperative societies. Zero synthetic microfibers or polyester blends.
Kora’s foundational differentiator is its direct partnership with government-registered weaver cooperatives in Maharashtra and Karnataka. By bypassing wholesale traders and commission agents, 100% of procurement proceeds directly support local weaving communities.
