The Shared Thread Newsletter - Vol 4

We're so excited to receive your messages and stories for the artisans. After spending so much time crafting each piece, they rarely hear directly from those who wear their work. Your letters and comments truly empower them and bring their craft to life.

Recently, a customer asked the artisans to share a recipe—and they went further! They cooked the dish, enjoyed it together, and sent photos of the ingredients and steps, giving us a special glimpse into their daily lives.

They shared Poha, a popular North Indian breakfast or snack that's tasty, nutritious, and perfect for on-the-go. I love taking it to snack on between meetings or while traveling when a restaurant isn't nearby.

We invite you to try Poha and write to the artisans with your thoughts! Your feedback inspires them and deepens the bond between maker and wearer.
