Women Empowerment through Silk Purse Production in Bhagalpur
A women’s organization in Bhagalpur is producing silk purses made from Bhagalpur silk threads, known for their quality both in India and abroad. This initiative not only promotes the local silk industry but also provides employment opportunities for women. The surplus silk threads left after making silk costumes are now being used to create beautiful purses, which are gaining popularity among women.
Innovative Idea for Economic Empowerment
Founder Priya Soni shared that the idea of making purses from silk threads came from a woman from Bhikhnapur looking for employment. Recognizing the potential of Bhagalpur silk, they decided to utilize the surplus silk threads to create stylish and affordable bags. These silk purses are available in a range of prices, starting from ₹300 and going up to ₹2000, catering to different preferences and budgets.
Accessible and Affordable Bhagalpur Silk Bags
These silk bags are lightweight yet durable, with small bags capable of carrying up to 3 kilograms and larger bags up to 8 kilograms. Available in local stores and through their organization, these Bhagalpur silk bags are not only fashionable but also contribute to the economic empowerment of women in the region.
