For them, it's all about woven texture, so every product in their collection is crafted by combining natural fibres with intricate hand making techniques.
The Dharma Door has been empowering women artisans in rural communities since 2004, with the aim of alleviating poverty. By collaborating with local non-profit NGOs and understanding customer preferences, the organization has developed an approach that values both artisans and buyers. These skilled women work together in shared workspaces or choose to work from home, allowing them to support their families and manage household responsibilities. Due to their disadvantaged backgrounds, access to education, training, and healthcare is limited for these artisans who come from impoverished communities in Bangladesh. However, working with The Dharma Door provides them with an opportunity to break the cycle of poverty by utilizing their traditional weaving and craft skills. In conjunction with NGO partners, the price of each garment is determined based on factors such as the time required for creation, the complexity of the design, and the cost of materials.
