Meet The Saheli Women

Manimekala creates fashion that empowers the women who create our designs, as well as the women who wear them.

One of our collaborators is Saheli Women, a women’s collective and ethical fashion enterprise located in the desert village of Bhikamkor, Rajasthan in northern India. Started in 2015 by an ambitious local social worker called Madhu, Saheli Women now employs over 100 village women, empowering them and supporting their families.

Here are their stories, in their own words.
