From New Delhi to Hampshire 🌍🧵
Textile students and teachers at Havant & South Downs College, UK, participated in a Silaiwali Experimental Workshop — exploring upcycling, hand-stitching, and circular textile practices inspired by our work with marginalised women artisans in India.
Working with reclaimed fabrics, the group experimented with form, texture, and storytelling — transforming textile waste into expressive, handcrafted pieces. What moved us most was not just the creativity but the shared language of slow craft.
Silaiwali began as a response to waste and displacement. Today, it is also becoming a bridge — connecting classrooms in the UK with refugee and rural artisan communities in India.
When students reimagine discarded fabric, they participate in a global circular movement. 🌿♻️
Thank you to the wonderful faculty and young designers for embracing ethical making, zero-waste thinking, and hands-on experimentation.
Craft connects.
Waste transforms.
Stories travel.

We are proud to be part of the Global Refugee Forum Progress Review in Geneva this week.

SilaiWali works in partnership with MADE51, the UN Refugee Agency platform that supports refugee made craftsmanship worldwide.

One of the installations at the Forum is the MADE51 Global Peace Tree, a collaborative artwork created as a human and tangible space for reflection on peace and displacement.

Handmade garlands by refugee artisans from different parts of the world come together with handwritten messages of peace, forming a shared expression of global solidarity.

Being present here means refugee artisans are not just spoken about, but seen, valued, and represented through their work.

In a space devoted to wellness, luxury reveals itself in slowness, intention, and the human hand.

This Christmas tree at D’MONDE is adorned with ornaments, handcrafted by Afghan women refugees using waste fabric from the fashion industry.

Because true luxury lives in what is made slowly, by hand, and with dignity.
