Details

Framed by a light green border, this green and black shawl celebrates the textile traditions of Bhagalpur. Uvais presents a soft shawl hand-woven with two types of silk, one of which is Tussar, which requires drying the cocoons to soften and reel the silk. The other is Eri, a silk that is heavier and appears like a long filament, and can be obtained from a live cocoon.

"I am enjoying what I am doing, and at the same time I'm assisting weavers who have an incredible talent, but unfortunately are not very financially stable."

"I am Mirza Mohammad Uvais Beg, born and raised in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, a city with a rich cultural heritage and where... family values are held at the highest esteem. I completed my studies at Rohelkhand University.

"Ever since I was young, I've always dreamed of working for the betterment of people living in conditions of economic hardships, and of finding a way of improving their living standards. When I was working for an export company, I had the opportunity to visit Bhagalpur, famous for its handloomed silk.

"I thought these weavers have magic in their hands, but they didn't know the right way to reach out to people and sell their products. This is when I decided to start a small organization to promote their beautiful handwoven textiles. So, I left my job and got a team of designers together, and started contacting weavers. We gave them various designs and they came out pretty good! I was really excited to be in this field.

"I am enjoying what I'm doing and, at the same time, I'm assisting weavers who have an incredible talent but, unfortunately, are not very financially stable.

"Currently there are about 150 weavers who are working full time with us, and another 50 weavers working from home. We all work together, sharing ideas and designs – this is how we create all our beautiful shawls and scarves. There is also another dedicated team that controls quality.

"We specialize in a variety of woven and printed stoles, ties, and running fabrics. We work with a different types of silk, including tussar, moonga, Eri, mulberry, and matka.

"Since we started working together, we have had the opportunity to participate in many exhibitions throughout India including in Kolkata, Bangalore, Vizag, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chandigarh and Chennai.

"Our main aim is to generate employment for weavers who are residing in the hinterlands of India, and dedicate our efforts to making their lives better. Reaching shoppers worldwide is one way to achieve this goal. This is a great opportunity for us and the weavers we work with, and we hope for great success in the future.

"I would love to start my own workshop in my hometown in Rampur and help as many weavers as possible, and I am sure my association with you will help me come closer to my dream."

Uvais received the Rajiv Gandhi Rashrtiye Ekta Samman 2012 Award, which is presented to men and women from various fields for their outstanding services, achievements and contributions. This yearly award is in memory of the late Shri Rajiv Gandhi, India's seventh Prime Minister who was assassinated in 1991.

Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

SLEEVE

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.
