Current project:
embroidery for fashion label ‘The Code’
The Code is a brand
new fashion label designing stylish, high quality women’s
wear. Based in one of the highest quality factories in India, they
employ as many underprivileged people as possible, in collaboration
with the factory owner, who also supports the project. The mothers
sew a unique code in all their products by hand, one by one. When
you type in this unique code on www.thecode.nl,
you can see the dedicated and underprivileged craftswoman who worked
on your product. The mother who has sewn your code also writes the
label in your product by hand, so each one is unique.
Current project: Assembling
Leather Lampshades for studio Pepe Heykoop
Dutch designer Pepe Heykoop has launched the ‘Leather Lampshade’.
The lampshade is fabricated of soft lambskin leather, whilst its
shape refers to old industrial lamps. The Lampshades have been assembled
by the mothers supported by the Tiny Miracles Foundation. Next to
creating jobs, for every lampshade sold, the equivalent of 1 month
of school fees is donated to send their daughters to private English
school.
