Behind the beautiful craftsmanship of this garment is a powerful journey of determination. Moving to Mumbai from a small town in Karnataka, Sangeeta Poojary faced steep language barriers and had never touched a sewing machine in her life. Yet, driven by a desire to build a secure future for her two young sons, she gathered the courage to walk into Creative Handicrafts in 2018.
Through hard work and dedication, Sangeeta mastered the art of professional tailoring. Today, she is a skilled artisan crafting high-quality garments for our global collection. For Sangeeta, this opportunity brought much more than technical skills—it gave her financial independence, a deep sense of personal dignity, and the confidence to make her own decisions.
