JEWELRY

Blue Mango is a social enterprise that has been built by marginalized and economically disadvantaged women. Profits from sales are re-invested into the program.

  • Our Blue Mango creche allows mothers with little ones to work.

  • Our Blue Mango van picks up women from the surrounding villages, and drops them back home again.

  • A yearly Divali bonus is deposited into our women’s saving accounts.

  • We cover our own overhead expenses, and do not rely on outside funding.

Blue Mango women stand tall, work hard and use their talents to produce quality items that meet the market’s highest standards.

WHAT WE HOLD DEAR

WELL-BEING

A sense of well-being is the heartbeat of Blue Mango. Celebrating festivals together fosters a sense of family. Creating an atmosphere of emotional support and good health enhances joy and well being. At Blue Mango widows are protected and disabled women feel safe.

INTENTIONAL DESIGN

Our motto is “Artisans First, Designs Follow.” Paying a fair wage drives the designing process, while ensuring that our products can compete with the evolving trends and demands of a local and international marketplace.

OWNERSHIP

The concept of ownership is fundamentally embedded into our ethos. Programatic decisions are made with the women’s input and support. Many artisans started as trainees and have risen into positions of responsibility.

SUSTAINABILITY

Our workspace is open, well-ventilated and designed for natural lighting.

We are conscious of environmental best practices:

  • We only use recycled cardboard boxes for packing.

  • Treadle sewing machines rely on foot power instead of electricity.

  • Fabric scraps are reused,

  • Kitchen wastewater irrigates our coconut trees
