Want to Help Support Women?

As some of you may remember from one of my earliest blog posts, there is a project through New Light that helps to create jobs with sustainable income for women who are leaving or preparing to leave their jobs as sex workers. It is known as the Anchal Project. Women meet a few times a week to sit on the floor of a room and embroider old sarees in a way that is very popular in India. Some of the smallest scarves can take up to one month to make and most of the products have the woman's name who embroidered them. This makes each piece so very special on multiple levels.

With regards to the scarves and blankets:
These products are double sided as they are composed of two or more sarees. The scarves are not typical scarves you would wear in the US but they are definitely still beautiful. In my opinion, I would use them more to make decorative throw pillows (which is what I am actually going to do) or as those decorative pieces of fabric at the base of your bed like you see in hotels. The possibilities really are endless with a little creativity. The sizes and prices of these are :
12 x 78 ($26)
16 x 80 ($28)
Twin blanket ($45) -->pretty sure there is only 1-2 available
Full blanket ($72) -->pretty sure there is only 1-2 available
If you let me know your top 2-3 favorite color preferences, I will try to find you what best correlates.

As for the bags, I have posted pictures of the different sample styles and the prices. The styles range from a clutch all the way to a tote and are bound with leather. They really are a nice quality. I will be rocking them when I get home for sure. With these, if you let me know which style you are interested in as well as your top 2-3 favorite colors, I will do my best to match based off of availability.

If you are interested, please be aware that I might have to tag on 5-10$ for shipping since I  will be traveling throughout India for my last week with nothing but a big backpack. I will therefore mail home the boxes so please be patient with me. Also, include your address!!
ALL ORDERS MUST BE GIVEN TO ME BY  WEDNESDAY MORNING since thursday is my last day here.

You can message me on Facebook or whatsapp with requests. If you want to help but dont want the products, look below my picture in the top right for ways to contribute. And thank you so very much in advance. You truly are making a difference in the lives of these beautiful women.
