Atulya Roses

Atulya Roses sells beautiful ribbon hairclips and cards made by vulnerable women in Delhi. As Isaiah 61: 3, declares to give them ‘beauty for ashes’.

The business seeks to provide these women with employment and helps fund the Atulya Home, an aftercare home for women in Delhi. It began in 2007 with an old scrap of fabric…

Anju* twirled the fabric around and within minutes it had formed a beautiful rose out of the old, discarded piece of cotton. The ends were sewn up and the fabric had been transformed into a flower. Anju was living in Atulya i

n Delhi, a home that was established in 2005 to help women from the sex trade and other abusive situations. In India prostitution is rife and many young women and girls are taken from their villages with the promise to their families that they will be given a good domestic job. However in reality they are often subsequently sold, against their will, into a life of forced prostituition and slavery. Several organisations help to rescue these women and seek to reunite them with their families, if this is considered safe and the families themselves were not apart of the trafficking process. In a situation where the families have been involved, the woman will be found a safe place stay in to recover from the trauma and to be helped to rebuild her life. Atulya was set up as an aftercare for women in this predicament and now seeks to help and look after women who need healing from the effects of trafficking and other difficult and abusive situations. Atulya is an Indian girl’s name and it means without price; unequalled; unparalleled; limitless; immeasurable; unique. The vision of Atulya is to enable women who are in need of emotional healing to find a place of restoration and opportunity to move on in their lives into new beginnings and a place of freedom. The rose that had been created by Anju was shown to Becs a volunteer in the home at the time. Becs had the idea of making the rose into a pretty hairclip and along with Sarah P, who was running the home, worked with some of the women to start a small business selling ‘Atulya’ hairclips and cards. Atulya Roses provides a form of employment and income for some of the more vulnerable women in the home and help sustain the running of the home to enable more women to have a place of safety and restoration.

A lovely customer has just bought some Dark Delhi red clips for her wedding, having found us online.

"I have looked all over on line for something and your site was the only place I found something I could feel really enthusiastic about, both because of how beautiful the clips look and the charitable nature of the business." Rebecca

If you know anyone getting married who may be interested in the roses - do put them in contact!

Check out Bethany's fab blog post about using these gorgeous roses as wedding favours for her wedding in June.
Here is an extract!

" When planning my wedding I knew instantly that I wanted it to not only be a celebration but to also have an ethical element to it. After spending some time in India and seeing the beautiful rose hairclips that are made by women who have come out of the s*x trade and boys that have HIV. I knew that the hairclips were the perfect wedding favours for my wedding."

and read Deb's piece on her wedding....

Here is a preview....

Once the giddy romantic feelings of getting engaged began to subside, Ryan and I began to think through our wedding and creatively brainstorm how our wedding could make a difference in other people’s lives, not just our own! We were keen to steer clear of the mammoth wedding industry that tempted us to believe that in order to have a perfect day we had to spend vast amounts of money on over-priced products sold by faceless companies of their recommendation – and instead we desired our wedding to be a multicolored tapestry of love, creativity and beauty that would directly benefit those most vulnerable in society.

Some more gorgeous wedding favours ....

"We cannot say thank you enough for the beautiful roses and the lovely scented lavenderhearts that we gave to our guests as wedding favours, on our wedding in May. They were very much appreciated and really added to the decorations in the hall and made it very special. It was lovely to see the female guests wearing the roses in their hair during the evening. I had a similar one in my hair.
The lavender hearts were so cute and adorable with the delicate lace around each heart and they really enhanced the table decorations. We wanted a really romantic theme and it became much more than we could ever imagine.
This is a long-lasting memory for us and our friends!
With love
Caroline & Daniel Wangler"
