I just love the products that the artisan women of Sari Bari create. Sari Bari offers freedom to women who were trapped in the Calcutta sex trade industry and provides opportunity to women who are vulnerable to trafficking. Sari Bari does this by providing employment in a safe, loving environment, where women are trained as artisans. The women create beautiful, sustainable, handmade products, while transforming their lives. When you buy an item, there is a label on it that names the woman who made it, and you can look up her story on the Sari Bari website. Some of my favorite items include colorful scarves, quilted blankets (they are so soft and can be used as prayer blankets), jewelry rolls (super cute for the traveling woman), baby blankets (a perfect gift for a baby shower), and table runners. Sari Bari offers affordable, chic products while simultaneously providing a means for women in India to claim a new life.
