Create exclusive styles and customize training courses
The Creative Carrier of Sandriver creates artistic cashmere companion dolls
On the way of its industrial assistance to Tibet, and introduced by Yangji, Director of the Commerce Bureau of Gyantse County, Sandriver cashmere has established a deep relationship with the little girl- Ciren Pianduo. In order to enable Pianduo to learn crochet skills more quickly and systematically, Ms. Guo Xiuling, the founder of Sandriver, has visited Pianduo’s home in Tibet many times with cashmere yarn, and communicate with her about the learning content. Two months ago, Sandriver confirmed the matters concerning the order requirements after Pianduo completes the studies, and reached an agreement with Pianduo for 500 handicraft products.
Meanwhile, Sandriver, with the help of her Shanghai creative team, customizes and develops handcraft product styles specifically for Pianduo, and adjusts product types according to her manual progress. While teaching her skills, Sandriver fully respects Pianduo’s imagination of multi-color matching, bringing a series of creative cashmere handmade companion dolls.
At the end of October, invited by Sandriver, Pianduo and her mother attended the learning and training at Shanghai Jinshan Craftsman Workshop. This training course was exclusively customized for her, including techniques such as manual hooks, manual repair, and knitting needles, teaching her to understand the craft. “With the guidance and help of Sandriver, I can make a lot of handmade dolls.” During the training, Sandriver signed a contract with Pianduo face-to-face for 500 cashmere dolls, with a total value of about 40,000 yuan, which will greatly increase her personal income.
Docking with the top global resort hotel
Meet handmade cashmere companion dolls here
Since Ms. Guo Xiuling, the founder of Sandriver, stepped into Aman’s low threshold and learned her “peaceful” Aman spirit core for the first time, Sandriver began to establish a long-term relationship and cooperation with Aman. This time, Sandriver actively docks with Aman, the world’s top resort hotel. Not only has she established a long-term sales cooperation for "Ciren Pianduo Handmade Dolls" with Yangyun Aman, but also all her hand-hook elephant dolls will be purchased by Yihe Aman and given to children staying in the Jixiang Courtyard Suite as a series of hotel’s companion dolls. As a warm and vibrant natural material on goats, cashmere blends with the handmade weaving of the Tibetan disabled girl, providing warm companionship for every growth and bringing healing power.
At present, the hand crochet woven carpet completed independently by Pianduo is in full swing. In January next year, Sandriver will take this product to Paris Fashion Home Design Exhibition MAISON & OBJET in France, which will further spread the inspirational story of the Tibetan disabled girl’s perseverance around the world.
