MEET THE ARTISANS



 Maiwa has worked closely with the Artisan's Alliance of Jawaja for over twenty years. We have worked on product development and collaborations with other artisans. Most recently we have combined the skills of the Jawaja Leatherworkers with Banjara embroidery. While the cotton lining of many of the bags is traditionally block printed by the Dabu mud resist method.

The Maiwa Foundation has supported the Jawaja Leatherworkers through infrastructure development, financial assistance to eliminate a relationship with a predatory moneylender., and the hugely successful Pink Bike Project. The Maiwa Foundation — just one more example of Maiwa in Motion.


Meet the leatherworkers of the Artisan's Alliance of Jawaja working in their village.
