Based in supernatural Vancouver, British Columbia Canada - Marigold Collective is a social enterprise dedicated to the social and economic empowerment of women and the preservation of heritage craft traditions.
We partner with women-focused Fair Trade Artisan Cooperatives in developing countries, providing
market access for their high quality products. Small batched goods - handcrafted with hope and care.
India Collection - Silk Kantha
We LOVE the Kantha stitching tradition of South India and Bangladesh. Kantha stitching is generally, a running stitch applied to cotton saris to re-purpose into bed covers. We were looking for that same technique on silk because of its rich sheen, durability and warmth. Mission accomplished!
We have engaged with a family business in India holding an ethical production - producing one-of-a-kind, up-cycled vintage silk sari scarves and traditional sized shawls.

Vietnam Collection - Silk and Linen
Our primary partnership is with a Fair Trade women's coop east of Hanoi, Vietnam formed in 2013. We produce seasonal collections of silk and linen and silk and cotton, handcrafted scarves. Ecologically sustainable natural materials are used such as silk farmed locally and linen grown in Vietnam. Safe dye ingredients are used to protect the village environment and water source.
Check out our web store to view the collection and order.
