Co-optex is the Tamil Nadu government's handloom weavers' cooperative, set up to sell directly from weaver societies across the state rather than through middlemen. The Egmore store carries handloom cottons and silks at fixed, non-negotiated prices, with proceeds flowing back to the weaving cooperatives that produced them.
Local tip: Prices are lower than boutique silk stores, though the range leans more everyday cotton than showpiece silk.
