Wealth from waste: A zero-waste initiative that turns scrap fabric into pouches and bags

It began with a pair of denims. Greater than just a bit frayed, and destined for the bin, Rukshana noticed one thing extra. She turned them right into a bag. Not simply any bag, however a wise, sturdy piece that made folks look twice.

That small act of transformation grew to become the seed for LIRU Creations, a sustainable model constructed on upcycling. The enterprise is the brain-child of Rukshana Lelinwalla and Lilam Reuben, and is a zero-waste initiative the place not even the tiniest scrap of cloth goes unused. From full-length sarees to worn-out kurtas, every thing is become luggage, pouches, coasters, and jewelry.
