"What I love about my art is the coming together of colorful patches into one single panel – it's like putting together dreams of many women who once attired the garment."

"Growing up in Chandigarh, I learned my art from my mother. As a child I would watch her putting together beautiful... patches from the old clothes that we had at home. Slowly, I learned the art and started to enjoy it. I then got married to Sanjay, whose family also practices this traditional craft.

"Sanjay was a very keen interest in taking forward this colorful traditional art, so after our marriage, we started working together and supplying to outlets in Delhi. When we realized how popular our designs had become, we decided to expand our work.

"My husband and I have been involved in this craft since the 1990's, and now there are five artisans who work with us full time. When we receive larger orders we are able to offer work to more artisans in our community. Our products have reached the US, Gulf, and Europe, and so far we've had a good response. < br>
"The raw materials that we use for our products mostly come from our hometown in Gujarat, and some come from Delhi. I get some fabrics from a women's group who goes door to door collecting clothes in exchange for new utensils. This exchange of clothes for utensils and other utility items is a common practice in India, and more so in small towns. The clothes are then sold at the flea markets in Gujurat.

"I have three kids – two daughters and the youngest is a boy, which means I must balance my time between being a mother and pursuing my craft. It's not been easy but for sure, the art that I have inherited from my mother is so deeply rooted in me that I would definitely want to get back to work full time once my children grow up.

"What I love about my art is the coming together of colorful patches into one single panel – it's like putting together dreams of many women who once attired the garment. This shows that tradition never dies.

"We would like to make a niche for us in the international market, and I am sure Novica will help us by helping people appreciate our products.

"Novica has been very supportive since I joined, and the sales from Novica have made it possible for us to send our kids to good schools. I also work with a lot of female artisans, and the money they earn helps them support their families."

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.

Triple 'Win' Pricing

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.
