I've been in India about one month now... so much has happened and so much was learnt! Due to several issues we are no longer working with Assisi at this point of time, which turned out to be a wonderful thing. The collection is really taking shape now and I am so delighted to say that it is better than I had even imagined! We are now working with a fair-trade organisation that is certified by Fair Trade and a WFTO member. They are called Craft Resource Centre based in Calcutta, and they work with 58 different craft-organisations, 35 of which are involved in export.
Our collection has evolved into 10 dresses in 7 different styles, all handmade using a unique french stitch technique, made of handwoven silks and leather and fun! It is so exciting seeing these creations come to life! Samples should be completed within the next 10 to 14 days and the photo shoot is takng place in Thailand shortly afterwards. Photos will be up soon!
