Khamir, a verified iTokri partner from Kutch, Gujarat, since 2012. Their reusable Rakhi has an unusual backstory: it is woven from waste plastic. What would have gone to a landfill is washed, cut, and woven by hand into a bright little Rakhi, often patterned like a flower. Everything here is in stock and ships from our base in Gwalior.
Here is the part worth knowing. Discarded plastic is collected from homes and industry around Bhuj, cleaned, sorted by colour, and cut into long strips. Those strips are then woven by hand on traditional pit looms and frame looms, the same looms Kutch uses for cloth, into a small woven patch that becomes the face of the Rakhi, finished with a few beads. It is a real weaving craft, not a gimmick, and it keeps plastic out of the ground.

A woven-plastic handmade Rakhi is light, does not fray, and holds its colour, so it lasts well beyond the day. And there is a quiet satisfaction in it: the Rakhi on your brother's wrist started as a piece of thrown-away plastic that a weaver in Kutch turned into something worth keeping. It is a good pick if your brother, or you, care about where a thing comes from.
Is your brother and sister in law living overseas? iTokri send Rakhi worldwide with dedicated pages for the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. Order Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi Sets, kids Rakhi, add gifts for brother and send Rakhi online to your brother.
We hold Khamir's recycled Rakhis in our own stock and ship them ourselves, so what you see is on hand and nothing is made to order. We name the maker on the page, Khamir, because the weavers who turned waste into this are the whole point. You can also explore other makers on iTokri like Samoolam, Kamli, and Ekibeki.
