Daddy lion and his mischievous son

Daddy lion and his mischievous son. Here are two magnificent lions, a big one and a little one. They are beautifully dressed in white pants and green long kaftans. The kaftans are decorated with thread stitching. The toys were sewn by Afghan refugee women from SilaiWali. Entirely made of linen-cotton fabric, the eyes, noses, mustaches and manes are of woolen thread. The clothes are removable.

The founders of SilaiWali are Iris Strill and Bishwadeep Moitra. Iris is a French woman living partly in India. He has experience working with French design and sewing companies in India. She has conducted many workshops for Indian women where she taught how they can use their skills and draw on tradition to create beautiful artisanal products. That’s how the idea for the social initiative was born, whose motto is: A PATH FOR FREEDOM. SilaiWali is a group of women refugees from Afghanistan, mainly from the Hazara tribe. The women now live in Delhi. They sew dolls and animals, and create utilitarian items by hand. Iris acquires a lot of beautiful fabric scraps after making clothes. Toys are sewn by hand, clothes are embroidered and embroidered. The bodies are created from cotton canvas in skin colors of various shades to celebrate cultural diversity, as it were. All products are manufactured using upcycling techniques.

Please note that colors may vary slightly from the actual colors depending on your monitor settings.
