artisans. "We partner with The Sewing Project, our sister non-profit to craft our silk Kantha scarves.

Through our partnership, we provide women Livelihood trainings and opportunities, Financial Literacy and Menstrual Health and Hygiene trainings. "

We partner with 4th generation block printing artisans in Bagru, Rajasthan to support the traditional art of hand-block printing to craft our silk-cotton scarves. As a

commitment to our artisans and their traditional craft, we provide our artisans fair wages, and use vegetable dyes and non-toxic dyes to make our scarves. "

enterprises. "By collaborating with us, diverse artisans find access to global markets and an

opportunity to showcase their immense talent. "Our scarves are not just must-have pieces in every fashionista's wardrobe, they are heirloom pieces for the next generation of fashion divas. Our high quality pieces will last a lifetime, so morph them into any type of scarf you want - a head scarf, a neck

scarf or even a beach scarf. "Be the trend - don't just follow it.
