Welcome to Sakhi - a unique entrepreneurial venture by three young passionate sakhi's.

Reaching out to all of you there, this blog will showcase some of the finest talents of women.. Take some time, go through each of them in detail. Whether done by us, or by mamis or by those interesting gypsies, our products are all uniquely done to retain their originality. Done in consortium with our sakhi's geographically spread, our stuff are mostly hand made with least dependence on machines. We are all here to speak Women Power - Sthree Shakthi with all our dear Sakhis!!

Take pleasure in browsing the story of how a blouse travelling 2500 km's made us think out of the box and envying the custom made "Jujips chain" of an angel, that drew envy with all her kutty classmates!

Feel free to interact with any of us - Archana, Sangeetha, Sarayu - You dear Sakhi's!

Yours Friendly,

The Sakhi Team

In glides into it the conch, small in size, adeptly fits in. to be worn with a matching flowy saree, or a simple kurta. Just enough to Jazz up!! Keeping you in close quarters with nature!

Here's something that is out of tradition, and still looks so pretty. Just like us, vibrant!!

Swetha got this prety brocade dress, with green and gold forming small loops all over it. We were thinking on the lines of a looped necklace, and that is how this came into being.

With a single strand of wire, that loops in and out - this piece is meticulously strung, with matching anqtique embellishments to add, this piece was sure a show-stealer when worn.Comes with matching earrings, and a funky bracelet.

A cool tip - Wear only the bracelet and earrings with jeans. And possibly hang the chain in your lower hip - A hep accessory!1

When Amma came to me, with this saree and asked for a jewel, I was too bestonned with the colour and the feel. It looked so royal, and had such a rich feel associated with it. Also, it was my amma's kalayna saree - so it was all the more special to her!!

A Jewel to fit her - Hmm, Quite a task. It needed to be traditional yet contemporary. It had to suit a middle aged woman, and a young gorgeous looking girl too ( I, sometimes forecefully make her lend it to me). So to keep with all these expectations, a jewel needed to be designed.
And that is what this piece is. Uniquely designed stones, in a wave shape, showing a beautiful flow and a intricate detail of golden embellishments in between - this was the piece uniquely crafted for her.
