Lack of recognition and proper pay, which encourages exploitation and a decline in allure, is one of the main problems the weaver trade faces. Veaves is focused on raising awareness and providing weavers with a stage on which to display their talent. They are a firm believer in repurposing all waste materials from product production, including handwoven crafts. They use discarded materials to create new crafts, integrating a narrative of preserving the environment one recycled item at a time and adhere to the belief that there is beauty in imperfections

Veaves works directly with 25-30 artisans, 60% of whom are women, who use 85-90% handwoven fabrics to create their items. Natural fibres that are eco-friendly, biodegradable, and have low CO2 emissions, like cotton, silk, and linen are what they make use of. To promote a healthier, more environmentally friendly lifestyle, their products are packaged in biodegradable materials.
