Artisan Information

"Everyone is proud of me! I am proud of me!" proclaims Surliamma, her family's main wage-earner since the death of her father in 2002. She overcame a hearing impairment and having only a 4th grade education to become a working artisan, thanks to the training and employment offered her at Blue Mango Trust.

Blue Mango has grown from four women with treadle sewing machines in an old silkworm shed to a successful, sustainable business run by and for marginalized women in southern India. The women undergo transformation, like the mango that has a blue tint before ripening to a sweet golden yellow. The use of recycled materials in their products symbolizes their ideals: to find usefulness in cast-off things.

All profits are reinvested to improve business and the quality of life of women like Panchavaranam, part of the Blue Mango "family," as she calls it, for over a decade. Widowed at 20 only to lose her newborn daughter to pneumonia a year later, Panchavaranam did not know where to turn. She found work and training at Blue Mango in 2005. "Decisions are based on our needs... they bought a bus because it was difficult to get to work; started free yoga classes because our bodies were tense from the machines. We were not eating well so they created a subsidized canteen for only 4 rupees a meal...In the midst of all my sadness, I have found some peace here."

Nagarathinum learned the value of education soon after her dad died. Dropping out of tenth grade, she worked the fields for years to care for her disabled mother and four siblings, eventually coming to Blue Mango. Now her daughters enjoy the Homework Center; her oldest dreams of becoming an engineer, perhaps by qualifying for scholarships Blue Mango awards to employees' children. "I just want my kids to get a good, steady job because life is too hard without one," she says.

fun pants

I wrote a review before wearing. Now that I've worn them, I love. The string to tie is a bit flimsy but don't do the knot to tie but just the bow. I love the ends of the string so they don't go through the hole.
Very comfortable and love the deep pockets. A neighbor rolled her window down, as I was walking my pooch, stating she loved my pants.

not what I thought

I thought these pants were thicker. They are very thin and think see through so good for a hot day or at the beach. I almost sent back but thought
I could wear them at the beach or in the garden. I haven't worn them yet since we're having Junuary; summer temps will be here soon. I still haven't decided if I'll keep them but probably will, they seem comfy.

Nice pants -- with some drawbacks

I love these unusual pants -- but the pockets hit me right where my hips happen to bulge out, so they (and I) look really WIDE. Also, the waist drawstring is made of the same fabric, and it's sometimes hard to undo the bow when you want to, ahem, take the pants off. So I replaced that with elastic so I can just pull them on and off. Haven't decided where to attach the cute balls at the ends of the former drawstring yet.
