Wholesale Heirloom Sunshine yellow dress with headband

This piece is very special because it is made by women in Indian villages, in their own homes, after they get free from household chores. These housewives are first taught crochet- how to read patterns and bring them beautifully to life. They are then given materials and projects to complete in their free time. Indian village communities are generally male-dominated, and women are financially dependent on their husbands, without having much say. This enterprise empowers them financially and socially, giving them a sense of dignity and self-worth. More importantly, these women tend to spend money on nutrition and education (in India, schools are not free) for their children.
