About the Supplier

Shakti.ism

Shakti.ism takes its name from shakti (शक्ति), the Hindi word for power. The full name means something close to "women's power-ism": female energy put into action.

It's a not-for-profit social enterprise founded by Jitna, working with grassroots NGOs in India, Bangladesh and Nepal to employ women from marginalised communities, particularly those at risk of gender-based violence. The approach isn't to teach new skills but to market the considerable ones these women already have, so traditional craft is preserved and they keep ownership of what they earn.

Pieces are designed in the UK and the Netherlands, then handmade from preloved sari fabric. Each one is one of a kind, and nothing is wasted. They also fund tailoring training for women starting out.
