In India, we stumbled across Desi Pop and literally fell in love at first sight!  Since Indian style bags are readily available at any nook and cranny in India, at first, we thought Desi Pop to be the same.  Not so!  Desi Pop has an amazing array of high quality, beautifully crafted, extremely durable products.  From messenger bags to crossbody purses to coasters, mugs, wallets and wall clocks, there is a fabulous selection of merchandise.  The gorgeous colors and intricate design definitely “POP” and will cause people to notice.  People are constantly asking us where we purchased our bags. We use our own products daily and it has the best wear and tear compared to most of the Indian merchandise we have bought in the past. 

We have 4 daughters who are aspiring entrepreneurs, with a passion to serve and give back to the community. The seeds of this dream were planted many years on multiple trips to India.  Growing up in the U.S., we would only experience the rich heritage of our culture on our many trips back to India.  The vibrant colors, deep traditions and the intricately handcrafted goods were something not readily found outside of India.  After many years, the influx and popularity of Indian inspired merchandise is much more readily available, however the quality is not always as reliable.  Having found an authentic and high quality vendor such as Desi Pop, we had found precisely something we could promote from the heart.

But showcasing and selling products are only part of the story.   For those many trips to India while growing up in America also made us reflect on something much much bigger.  Gratitude. Humility.  Being a part of the bigger picture.  We wanted to find a way to give back.  Knowing the stark realities of poverty, female illiteracy and inability to  access to clean water were just a few of the injustices that fueled our passion to go beyond our bubble.  We have volunteered our time and services when we go on our short trips, however this is merely a drop in the bucket.   The bigger challenge is empowering and providing people with tools for success.  For this reason, we want to teach our girls the impact that even they alone can make.  We will donate 50% of our profits to charities.
