Journey to Women's Empowerment Through Stitching - West Bengal

Since November 2025, the Secret Projects Production Unit has been proudly located in West Bengal, marking an exciting new chapter for our work with women makers in India.

In January 2026, Lesley and Fritha travelled with two intrepid customers on a special recce trip to officially open the unit alongside Banke Ajayi, Co‑Founder of Secret Projects.
The visit was an enormous success — inspiring, hands-on, and filled with meaningful connections.

We’re delighted to share that this West Bengal experience will be added as an optional extension to Lesley’s Textile Exploration in South India 2027.

Full trip details will be released in April 2026, and those already booked on the Textile Exploration will have first opportunity to secure places on the extension.
