   When I found out about Sari Bari, I knew I had to write about them! I love what they stand for; giving women a way out of a hopeless situation and offering them hope and a healthy environment to work. They are based in Kolkata, India. The following is a description about Sari Bari from their website.   

Sari Bari is a business. Our mission is to offer freedom to women who are trapped in the sex trade and to provide opportunity to women who are vulnerable to trafficking. We do this by providing employment in a safe, loving environment, where women are trained as artisans. The women create beautiful, sustainable, handmade products, while making their lives new. We invite you to journey into the freedom story of one woman with your purchase.

  All of their beautiful products are handmade by the women using Indian Saris, and are marked with a tag which shows the name of the woman who made it. You can find out a little about each woman on Sari Bari's website.

Here are some of the products these women make:

 

Purses

Blankets

Scarves, Makeup bags, and tablerunners.

   Please visit Sari Bari at www.saribari.com and check out all their beautiful products. You may notice that many items are already sold, but they receive new shipments about every six weeks, so keep checking back!

   I hope you are as excited to shop in a new way for gifts for Valentines Day or for birthdays that are coming up as I am! The idea of giving something beautiful to those I love and also at the same time giving towards a company that is helping women find freedom is so much fun to me. It brings a new joy to shopping for gifts!
