About The Company

Get the ins and outs

The seed for Devi was planted in 2018 when the Founder, Debbie Kirsch, finished her studies in Biology and went for an internship of 5 months to Jodhpur, India to work with a women-empowering Social Enterprise called the Saheli Women during her gap-year. It was not planned to create a fashion brand but the love for the, at the time only 20 women, in the saheli women center combined with the urge to find alternatives for the increasingly fast fashion industry, she decided to create her first upcycled collection with the ladies made out of leftover materials & saris.

“To empower women and provide them with a source of income and positive energy.”

By using upcycled and leftover fabrics Devi can save a lot of resources such as water because they avoid producing new fabrics.

No information on this is provided by the brand.

The clothing is made of upcycled materials such as silk and the accessories are crafted from their own leftover fabrics generated by the production of their clothing. This way they are minimising waste by creating unique pieces.

In general, Devi uses deadstock materials (leftover materials): there are millions of fabrics that have been ordered and produced for big fashion companies. As they go through the process of creating new fabric for their own collections, they end up not always buying the full amount of fabric they initially ordered at their manufacturers. This fabric will most likely not be bought by another company, since most of the businesses in the industry are used to creating their own new fabric.

The enterprise operates based on fair and inclusive principles, aiming to create prosperity through livelihood opportunities.
