THE POWER OF EMBROIDERY Hand embroidery is a hallmark of the MarketPlace brand, present on every piece of clothing we make. The reason is two-fold: embroidery has a rich history in India and it's also a learnable skill that can be done by women at home. By including embroidery on every garment, MarketPlace maximizes the work and income it can provide to the artisan community. The stitches themselves are chosen for their elegant simplicity, allowing new artisans to learn them quickly and start earning money immediately.
