GAN WOMEN UNIT CRAFTSWOMAN SEWING BANDAS COLLECTION
EN
The artisanal manufacture of our collections is carried out in
cooperation with various communities in India, with whom we maintain a
consolidated social and development commitment. Our artisan teams are
mostly female, and our goal is to help them achieve economic independence
through stable and well-paid work. Thus, in 2010, our GAN Women’s Unit
was created in Uttar Pradesh, coordinating a group of embroiderers who
had lost their jobs and by entrusting them to work on a new Patricia Urquiola
collection. The designer created Bandas by considering the specific skills that
these women had, adapting
her design to favor work-
life balance. Since then,
designers working with GAN
are encouraged to include
embroidery, needlepoint or
crochet in their collections
so that this unit can keep
growing.
