The making of a Rubina bag. A work in progress.
Check out our Facebook album that has pics from our latest product development in India. We’re working on a product with Rangsutra, that will be featured the same as the other awesome companies we’re recruiting for the Pilot. Let us know what you think and if you have any questions!
Tilonia! Rajasthan!
I just reached the Barefoot College in the village of Tilonia and I am so freakin’ excited! This is my first official visit to Rajasthan, the capital of Indian craft. Sadly, I arrived at night and can barely see the nose in front of me, so I’m headed to sleep so I can wake up ASAP and discover the awesomeness that awaits me.
Barefoot College has their hands (or “feet,” I should say) in a number of social enterprise and innovative development initiatives. I’m here spending most of my time with their craft sector (Tilonia.com), and specifically to document the production of a new line of home goods designed by the ladies of Designing Hope in Brooklyn.
Tomorrow is India Republic Day, so we’ll celebrate by dancing and being festive with the women and kidos. Then it’s back to work for the next couple of days.
Pics and video snippets to follow soon!
Sweet dreams from India.
