The Story behind Devi
An internship in India
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.
