Have you ever worn earrings made using cloth? Ae Ri Sakhi is a sustainable small business venture that makes beautiful ethnic jewellery using scrap cloth and oxidized silver. Started by Jayati Dave and her mother Hema Dave, the brand aims to encourage people to buy sustainable products.<\/p>\n

Jayati took her experience working in the fashion industry and started this venture – only this time, she wanted to try her hand in the world of slow, sustainable fashion. We got in touch with the mother-daughter duo to learn more about their beautiful business.<\/p>\n

“Ae Ri Sakhi<\/a> is my brainchild, born out of sheer passion and an urge to enter the world of sustainability and slow fashion.” – Jayati Dave<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From cloth to earring – setting up a sustainable small business<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jayati and her mother Hema, make fashionable Indian jewellery from scrap fabric which is collected from the workshop of a boutique where Jayati used to work in.<\/p>\n

” I always had a knack for creativity and compassion towards environment conservation. After working in fashion, I became aware of the fact that not every kind of cloth is\u00a0 biodegradable and can be damaging to the soil if dumped mindlessly and without segregation. I felt like it was my responsibility to fix this problem. So I thought of making the best of waste.” – Jayati<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
