Savini

"We work closely to provide sustainability to tribal and underprivileged communities by means of skill development and employment opportunities."

“My name is Savini and I am from Mumbai. I am a very hardworking, fun-loving and creative person. I studied engineering,... but decided to quit my job to try my hand at crafts instead, as I wanted to do something creative. “During my visits to the forest for a tiger safari, I came to know that there are many communities living near the forests that face man-animal conflict situations with big cats like tigers & leopards. This is because communities still depend on forest resources like wood, leaves, fruit and deer meat for survival. That is when the idea of starting an organization clicked in my mind where I can create self-sustaining livelihood for marginalized and tribal communities that live in India’s remote villages.

“I started my organization in 2016 with a few groups of women. We work closely to provide sustainability to tribal and underprivileged communities by means of skill development and employment opportunities. We try to represent Indian wildlife in its truest form. We try to create wildlife souvenirs in various forms. From handbags and pouches to key chains, cushion covers, soft toys, coasters, fridge magnets, etc. We are trying to reduce the dependence of these communities on the forest. Providing them an alternative source of income creates a win-win situation for both man & animal. It also gives the communities a sustained source of income, as these products are mostly sold at eco-tourist destinations where tourists visit for birding or a tiger safari. This initiative also makes the communities feel included in the tourism.

“I am self-taught. With lots of trials, sampling and experimentations, I have mastered this art and have trained and guided all the women who work with me. Initially it was very hard when I started. I kept motivating myself and my team. I kept hoping for the best, kept trying, and constantly told myself not to lose hope.

“We usually work with fabrics like canvas and khadi, and wooden beads and paper mache. We also work with factory surplus fabric, garment remnants and trims in our attempt to reduce waste.

“We get the inspiration from the wild world around us. We have so many types of birds, animals and insects in this world. Each one of them is so unique and so beautiful. All you need to do is observe nature to get inspired with colors and textures. My favorite part as well as the most challenging is representing complex patterns like tiger stripes or leopard spots, which can get pretty complicated.

“The women from the marginalized communities and the tribal communities that work with me get the opportunity for financial stability. They find themselves competent to contribute towards the financial health of their family. My dream is to work with more marginalized and tribal communities that live in India’s remote villages by providing them with job opportunities.”

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. 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.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

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. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of 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.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
