Handiras are traditionally worn by women on their wedding nights. Handiras are traditionally thick white and off white colors. Ain Leuh takes a unique approach in weaving handiras as they blend designs and colors common throughout their signature rugs. Further, the level of knotting and detail on their handiras is much more fine than traditional handiras.
Hachmia was born and raised in Ain Leuh. She is widely regarded as one of the hardest working members of the Ain Leuh Cooperative. This work ethic shines through given the fact that she has never attended school, but still enrolled in a weaving certification program and started working at the cooperative. Hachmia is a single parent with two girls and a boy. Her dedication and persistence of her work allow her to use the money she earns to support the children's living and education. She is indeed a strong woman!
