Big Animal Doll Set
This handcrafted eco-friendly animal doll is made by Afghan women refugees in New Delhi using apparel scraps from mass clothing manufacturers. The proceeds from this product supports sustainable income and social development of the SilaiWali artisans. This is no trade off for quality though, you will find that all of the beautiful materials have been carefully selected.
Each doll comes with a cotton-candy-soft mattress, pillow and blanket, so the doll has a comfortable place to rest.
Material: Cotton doll, polyfill, woollen hair, cotton bedding
Dimensions: Mom — H 47 cm, W 13 cm
For the book in this set, choose between “Stitching Wishes”, written from the perspective of a refugee mother making dolls, or “Prized”, a children’s story of self-compassion and embracing differences.
Comes with an exclusive large tote bag.
Silaiwali’s Mission:
Environment: Silaiwali is located in New Delhi NCR — the National Capital Region is the biggest hub for garment manufacturing in India. Textile waste generated by the fast-fashion industry is the second largest pollutant after vehicular emission in the cities. Abiding by the principles of fair trade, Silaiwali augments circular production by up-cycling textile scraps and dead stock from the garment-manufacturing industry to create hi-fidelity home décor products sold all across the globe.
Solidarity: New Delhi is a transit home for Afghan refugees fleeing from the excesses and instability in their home country with the intention to settle down in developed countries that accept foreign immigrations. Silaiwali works with Afghan women refugees based in New Delhi under the guidance of UNHCR (The UN Refugee Agency) mandated livelihood programme for refugees. Silaiwali currently generates sustainable incomes for between 60-70 women refugees, adhering to the principles of fair wages, a clean working environment within walking distance from the homes of the refugees, and observes a zero-tolerance policy toward engaging children for labour.
