KIRAN SOCIAL ENTERPRISES
Kiran Social Enterprises is a multi-media jewellery studio and artisan training centre for women living in a marginalised community in Kolkata, India. Kiran jewellery is based on copper and the iconic Indian sari. We love the use of reclaimed saris in the Kiran products. It is aesthetically and symbolically beautiful to see this icon of feminine India celebrated, loved and affirmed by women of other cultures around the world.
a place of hope, joy and community
Accented with glass and wooden beads, and influenced strongly by modern bohemian styles, the collection is both strong and feminine. Kiran provides ladies with fair wages, new opportunities and training to become artisans of skills such as jewellery making and hand weaving. The studio space is not just a place of work but a place of hope, joy and community for the ladies who come.
The word ‘Kiran’ is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘ray of light’.
Our desire is to be a ray of light and hope in Kolkata.
