When our friends at The Artisan Shop connected us to the bhujodi weavers making beautiful shawls with embroidery and mirror work, we jumped at the opportunity to design a few ready-to-wear pieces using the traditional textiles. After cutting our tunic dresses and dusters with beautiful bhujodi, we had plenty of scraps that we didn't want to waste. Our partners, the Saheli Women, meticulously crafted these cushion covers from spliced bhujodi, as a little something extra for us. The cutest unique accessory for the home, using all leftover cuttings. All artisans have determined their own wages for both the raw materials and the stitching of these items. About The Artisan Shop: During the second Covid lockdown in India, Loom and Hand, Raaha, and Ka-sha partnered together to launch a not-for-profit initiative, The Artisan Shop, to support India's weavers and artisans. The artisans hold the power to decide the value of the product. This ensures reduction in inventory, reduced reliability on donations, access to open economies, and keeps home workshops running. Within the first 60 days of launch, The Artisan Shop onboarded 20 artisans and supported them with clearing inventory of over 150 pieces, reaching customers in 8 countries. Handmade in India.
