ABOUT US

EMPOWERING TRADITIONAL WOMEN ARTISANS

Ruas was founded on the core belief that creativity lives in all of us. We are dedicated to empowering rural traditional women artisans by providing livelihoods and helping them in showcasing their creative talents. 

​

"Our design philosophy is to merge the old with the new to make timless creations."

Each Ruas strap is detailed, intricately hand-embroidered by traditional women artisans of India. We currently work with the Suf, Jat, and Ahir communities from Kutch and the Toda community from Tamil Nadu.
