480 People, 90 Days: Met Gala 2025 Blue Carpet Was Made By This Kerala brand

In an inspiring blend of traditional craftsmanship and international fashion, a brand from a small town in Kerala has quietly made history again. For the third year in a row, Neytt by Extraweave, based in Cherthala, has been chosen to design and produce the prestigious carpet for the Met Gala 2025, one of the most celebrated fashion events in the world.

From Kerala to the Met

Known for its cultural flair, extravagant themes, and global celebrity appearances, the Met Gala is the ultimate intersection of art, fashion, and storytelling. But before anyone steps into the Metropolitan Museum of Art's grand venue, they first walk across a carpet that sets the tone, and this year, that carpet was proudly woven in India.

Unlike the traditional red carpets, the 2025 edition of the Gala featured a bold deep blue floor spread, adorned with floral motifs that echoed this year's theme of nature, rebirth, and the surreal. The 63,000-square-foot installation was not just a visual statement but a symbol of how Indian craftsmanship has found its place on the world stage.

At the heart of this accomplishment is Neytt, a contemporary brand that merges Indian weaving traditions with sustainable design practices. Their partnership with the Met Gala showcases not only their technical excellence but also the growing global demand for ethical and eco-friendly production.

Tradition Meets Glamour

Speaking about the achievement, team members from Neytt expressed pride in contributing to an event of such international stature. "We're proud to take Indian artistry to the world. Every knot and colour is a part of our story," they shared.

Founded with the vision of revitalising India's weaving heritage, Neytt has evolved from a regional player into a name recognised globally for its design excellence. The brand focuses on handcrafted rugs, carpets, and textiles using environmentally conscious materials, drawing from local skills while creating products that cater to modern aesthetics.

This year's carpet wasn't just a backdrop, it became a talking point, noticed by fashion critics and fans alike. The project also stands as a reminder that behind every grand event are untold stories of dedication, creativity, and quiet brilliance.
