Bholu
Posted on Fri, 30 Mar 2007 by midcenturyjo
Kim and I received an email from Jodie Fried. Jodie is the woman behind the inspired idea of bholu. The range includes cushions, throws, journals, slippers and a cute children’s range of line and cuddlies. Products are designed in Australia but brought to life by Gujarati women in India using traditional techniques and motifs drawn by children of the slums. Even better bholu is a Fair Trade company and part of the proceeds go back to the women and their communities, along with funding educational facilities for underprivileged children.

This makes very smart business sense, it’s good for everyone. I hope the proceeds they get are good. The pillows are wonderful, and I want those shoes in every color!
