Assisi Garments, India

Assisi Garments is one of the first groups that People Tree worked with. Set up by Franciscan nuns, it provides training and employment for deaf, mute and poor women.

Assisi provides a haven for these women to live in and a safe and supportive working environment. They are paid a fair wage and a lump sum paid after five years of employment to start a home and often their own tailoring business.

A close partnership with People Tree has enabled Assisi Garments to be the first company in the developing world to achieve the Soil Association mark for clothing produced in the developing world.

Sophie Dot Dress

Button through black and white polka dot tea dress with short sleeves. Hand wash only. Made in Bangladesh.

fabric: 100% hand woven cotton, 100% cotton lining
length: 6 80cm 8 80cm 10 81cm 12 83cm 14 84cm

Made by Artisan Hut, Bagladesh

Artisan Hut works with over 250 artisans in rural areas such as Narshingdi and Jhenaidha.

By focusing on traditional hand skills, like hand weaving, block printing and hand embroidery, a huge number of people can benefit from making clothes, that otherwise would not.

Machines are rapidly taking handweavers’ jobs and livelihoods away. The only way to stop this is by buying handwoven products – hand weaving fabrics saves 1 ton of CO2 emissions per year per handloom.

The highly skilled, traditional hand weavers of Bangladesh are being put out of work by the demand for cheap, fast fashion. When the only priority is to get the garment from the design board to the shop floor in 6 weeks, hand weavers cannot compete with power looms.

Artisan Hut was founded to deal with this crisis. Workers are able to double their income by using their traditional hand weaving, block printing and hand embroidery skills.
