Introducing the Veena Collection

The collection is named after my grandmother from who we learned the values of

empathy, compassion and volunteerism. After receiving a grant last year from Startable

Pittsburgh, we started screen-printing our own t-shirts, canvas totes, and making our

own bath-salts. All the profits earned from selling our own handmade goods goes back

to the women artisans in form of interest free micro loans. The money allows the artisan

groups to acquire raw materials, tools, small machinery and help with expanding their

hiring practices and scaling their small businesses.
