Mridulika

"In this high tech digital world, the true beauty and appeal of handcrafts is losing its place, but with the support of craft lovers, we would be able to revive the art."

"I'm Mridulika Menon Madiraju and I was born in Calcutta, now known as Kolkata. Then we moved to Chennai where I grew up... and went to school. I'm inspired by my mother, Arundhati Menon, who designed saris and ready-made apparel, and worked with craftsmen from various parts of India promoting their hand-woven saris and textiles.

"I went on to Washington DC to do a Masters degree in communication, culture and technology and, for my thesis, I worked on a project funded by the World Bank developing a strategy for women's weaving cooperatives in Himachal Pradesh to promote the sale of their shawls. I turned to my initial passion for textiles and designing after moving back to India in May of 2008.

"I create apparel and textiles that appeal to global shoppers, while promoting traditional techniques such hand-block printing, which is a dying art in today's world of digital prints.

"The printing is done using wooden blocks carved by hand. We often use four color blocks which means there are four different blocks to color each different segment of the design. I try to combine the best of Western styles and Indian designs, and try to infuse elements inspired from all over the world.

"Every day is a learning process for me and I'm still learning. I have been learning a lot from craftsmen, artisans and also my mother. Every time we obtain a stunning effect as a result of the combination of various designs and colors, it continues to inspire and motivate me to work on more beautiful things.

"Right now, my greatest inspiration is my little daughter Mahika. She is a delight who keeps us entertained. She seems to appreciate my textiles and loves to play with them. She motivates me to create beautiful things.

"I've done exhibitions all over India including in Chennai, Goa, Pune, Bangalore, Delhi and Cochin and the response has been great.

"I am glad to be associated with you. I first learned about you when I was studying in Washington at Georgetown University. My graduate school professor had bought several things from you. I never considered myself a true artisan and was excited to learn about the opportunities of promoting my designs with your help.

"I really wish to promote handwoven textiles and would like to appeal to everyone to treasure this craft. In this high-tech digital world, the true beauty and appeal of handcrafts are becoming lost but, with the support of everyone, we'll be able to revive the art.

"In days to come, I would surely love to see my designs reach international heights and I'm sure you will help me achieve this dream."

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.
