Renewing Materials, New Lives
MarketPlace's Chindi collection makes scraps stylish while training new artisans. The chindi, small fabric pieces left over from cutting garments, are recycled into new clothing, accessories and embellishments in a variety of ways. After being cut into uniform pieces, the chindi are sewn together by trainees learning to sew straight and accurate seams on the sewing machines. Look for the C sign next to products to see the creative ways the artisans have incorporated chindis.

Big and Warm

The kaftan is very large and long (I am 5 feet 5 inches, 120 pounds) and I wear it in cool weather. After washing, the fabric is thick and gauzy. The embroidery is absolutely gorgeous!

Lovely Kaftan
Feb 10, 2024 | By Hope
The color is true to the photograph and the material is nicely mid-weight. I ordered one size down as suggested and the fit is perfect - loose, but doesn't look like a tent. The stitching is well done and beautiful. I also like having pockets.

After I retired from the ministry, I wanted unusual, creative clothes to express myself after years of suits and business dresses. Marketplace clothes are a joy. I look the unique fabrics, the beautiful hand embroidery and the uniqueness of style. This kaftan/dress is a wonderful piece of workmanship. And I love knowing that my purchase helps women in need.
