OUR DESIGN
yachting and sailing ropes
Pichulik predominantly uses overruns of Polypropylene rope (PPM) number 5 on the recyclable chart. These over-runs are the excess from the yachting and sailing industry.
glass beads
The other components include glass beads, hand carved agate and carnelian from Ghana, and semi-precious stones sourced locally. All off-cuts from crafting are used for producing new pieces of jewelry.
We want to
Empower women
“In terms of overall development, I also have an education programme for our crafters, so for example, the woman who has been with me the longest currently is undertaking a Business Management Diploma through evening study courses which are paid for by the business. I also provide the women with regular readings which focus on self-development and self-actualization. What I am really excited about and what really motivates me is not just this notion of employment, but instead the empowerment of women, and cultivating a real sense of self-esteem and self-worth, and a feeling that you really can ascend out of your current personal circumstances.”
