The Mata Traders journey with "Mother India" began in 2003, when the founders spent 4 months traveling the subcontinent on a round the world trip. The Mata Traders mission is to work with organizations that educate, employ, and empower women. Spending time with these groups, they have realized that even the most traditional women, when given the opportunity, thrive in a sphere of meaningful work that is outside their homes and families. They have also learned that equality in the workplace is possible in a country as socially stratified as India. Whether a beginner sewer or the marketing director, all the women that make Mata Traders clothing and accessories have a voice. Bombay Bongo is so proud to be a part of that voice in this meaningful partnership, that brings you such quality handiwork in a high fashion, fairly traded product line
Mata Traders is also a Green Business, certified by Green America
