Mumbai's marginalised mums sewn up by Colours Of India clothing line

Colours Of India

A Malaysian entrepreneur has set up Colours Of India, a fashion label which employs mar­gin­alised and low-income women from Mumbai, India.

Step inside Colours Of India’s (COI) boutique in Jalan Klang Lama, KL, and you'll be mesmerised by its collection of clothing ranging from traditional Indian outfits to Thai silk A-line dresses and flared skirts. The shelves are adorned with fabric bags of all sorts – handmade laptop bags, shoulder bags, batik reusable grocery bags, yoga bags – and there are beautiful shawls in different hues.
