The Met Gala 2025, a high-profile fashion event, prominently featured a 63,000-square-foot carpet crafted with sustainability in mind. The deep blue carpet, adorned with golden daffodils, was supplied by Neytt by Extraweave, an Indian design house based in Kerala. This marks the third consecutive year that Neytt has provided the carpet for the Met Gala, highlighting a growing emphasis on environmental responsibility within the fashion industry.
Neytt by Extraweave, established in Alleppey, Kerala, has a century-long legacy in rug making. For the Met Gala 2025, the company used sisal fibers sourced ethically from Madagascar. Sisal is a natural fiber known for its durability and biodegradability, making it an eco-conscious choice. The company emphasizes its commitment to sustainability by using natural materials and eco-friendly processes.
The use of a biodegradable carpet at such a prestigious event signals a shift towards greater environmental awareness in the fashion world. Neytt’s involvement showcases Indian craftsmanship on a global stage and demonstrates that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand. The company blends traditional techniques with modern technology, using spinning machinery from Ireland, dyeing machines from Italy, and weaving units from Belgium in their Kerala facility. This combination of local heritage and global innovation allows Neytt to create unique and sustainable designs for a worldwide clientele.
