It`s a doll`s world
Dressed in embroidered cotton muslin tunics and chambray dresses, Silaiwali dolls are a hit in India, Switzerland and Germany. By the end of this year, they`ll be available across Europe, US and Asia, too. Made from production waste that the garment industry in Delhi/NCR churns out, they are Bishwadeep Moitra`s brainchild. He quit his media job in 2016 and started the venture with his provident fund. Moitra and partner Iris Strill, a French national, decided to work with Afghan refugee women, who she had previously collaborated with for the United Nations livelihood programme, Swavlamban-Self-reliance for Refugees.
