“We are seven years old and our forte is providing opportunities to the budding entrepreneurs who are into handmade business and not mass manufacturing,” said Supriya KP social media handler and relationship manager at Tamboo Market.
Tejal Patwa, a fashion designer from Ahmednagar, said, “I have my in-house production and we are mainly focused on recycling old sarees and making elegant design out from it so that you don’t have to waste anything from your wardrobe.”
Beside the exhibition, a quilting workshop by traditional quilters of MotherQuilts will also be conducted Sunday between 11 am and 2 pm. It includes teaching traditional quilting patterns, hand-stitching, and stories narrating the quilters’ journey.
