Needle and Thread

Tailoring and embroidery are offered as vocational tracks for the women we serve in Afghanistan, Iraq and Rwanda. We are delighted to partner with British womenswear brand Needle & Thread, who understand the importance of these skills.

Needle & Thread have collaborated with Women for Women International Ambassador Jasmine Hemsley to create the Jasmine Hemsley x Needle & Thread Elemental collection, launching in time for International Women’s Day. The 23-piece collection is inspired by the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, the ‘knowledge of life’ and the five universal elements which forms the foundations of the Ayurvedic principles; space, air, fire, water and earth. The collection focuses on using recycled materials, as part of Needle & Thread’s commitment towards a more responsibly sourced future.

Needle & Thread are proud to support Women for Women International by making a donation, which is enough to help 200 women learn tailoring as part of our year-long training programme.
