Buy Upcycled Handicrafts for Social Good

‘Lily & the Wonder Women‘ is a social initiative by Shaswati Sengupta that empowers women and kids in risky neighborhoods like Kannagi Nagar (a Tsunami Rehabilitation Settlement) in Chennai. It enables them to earn a living and educate their kids – hence trying to prevent them from falling into a life of crime.

How?

By upcycling textile & plastic scraps and waste before they reach the dustbin, into handmade designer & utility products and handicraft accessories.

Lily & the Wonder Women is a socially sustainable business model aimed at providing fair wages to women in affected areas by upcycling textile/cloth waste into beautiful dolls, cloth toys for kids, Koodai traditional bags, pouches, decorative items, play buddies, home decor products, notepads, bags, pouches, etc.

In fact, since all these items are handmade, each of them is unique and different based on the material and the designer’s creativity. You can visit their shop from this link and see what’s readily available for you to purchase, or you can also order customized products as per your needs.
