Oh my goodness, this conversation with Megha Patil made me wish I had a young girl in my family! Megha describes Happy Lilliput as "Exquisite Celebration Attire" - can you just picture that? Megha said growing up in India birthdays are a BIG DEAL - like sometimes thousands of guests to celebrate you, and very fancy clothes. She was fascinated by fashion; she went to design school, and was frustrated by the waste that she saw, so she decided to design her own patterns and clothes. And boy oh boy, has she made an impact!
I really encourage you to check out my Social media post from September 22, or follow her website link below - I'll be sharing a few photos of Megha's team in India, and I snagged a photo from her website so you can see one of the incredible dresses they make. She is so proud of her team, and the pride they all have in the work they do. Happy Lilliput isn't just about sustainable Celebration Attire, but also supporting the super skilled folks in her home country, and the difference her business makes in their lives. Megha talks about how women are encouraged to stay home in India, and how flexible work schedules are, so that people are able to take care of their lives AND bring some money home and help to support their family, and also how big of an impact having some work has had on the team and their families.
I just loved learning about this process, and all the things that Megha is up to. I sure hope you do, too!
