Rajesh Kumar

"It seems magical to be able to see live what you design in your mind."

"Hi, I was born and brought up in a village in Bihar, where I spent my childhood having fun playing with friends in the... open fields without the influence high tech has on kids these days.

"My family is part of a potters' community and my earliest memories are of them crafting ceramics, mostly earthenware pots. On occasions they would make diyas, or oil lamps and earthenware deities during festivals like Durga Puja and Diwali.

"I learned this craft from my parents, initially as a hobby, and slowly I got really interested in it. By the time I was in college I was making big earthen deities. In India, especially in the eastern part, huge earthenware deities are handcrafted for Durga Puja to be decorated and then they are submerged in the sea on the last day of the festival. So along with a few assistants, I would craft large effigies for this big festival. It was really fun and this is how my interest for this beautiful craft was born.

"I wanted to make more and different things, so I enrolled in the Indian Institute of Craft and Design in Jaipur, where I did my post-graduate degree in handicrafts. It was a three-year design-based course, but we were also taught technique and process. I learned a lot from this Institute. Then, I worked in an export company where I was recruited as a designer.

"It's been a great experience for me to be able to finally practice what I have learned. Slowly, I got in touch with a few artisans and started doing some experiments. It seems magical to be able to see live what you design in your mind.

"Currently I specialize in ceramic, stone and wood. Slowly, I would like to expand my craft.

"Being associated with you is such an honor for me. I'm just starting my venture and, hopefully, this is the beginning of a long and satisfying association."

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.

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.
