TAILORING PROJECT

DSC_0141_edited.jpg

These are Thill and Rose. They live in Vedanthangal.

 

In January 2020, in order to increase the family’s income and help Indian Futures, they came up with the idea of using old sarees to make these little bags, called surkupeis, that we would then sell in Spain and the UK.

In 2023, Indian Futures employed two more tailors.

They continue to make surkupeis, but also different types of bags, aprons and scrunchies that we sell at all our events.

The Tailoring Project is self-sustainable. For every item we sell:

1/3 pays the tailors' salaries

1/3 pays for sewing material and postage

1/3 goes to other Indian Futures' projects.
