Our Story

Hello! Thanks for visiting our website. I am Suhasini Dave, owner of the boutique, Sweet Yellow Pollen. I am based at Pune. Before my entrepreneur journey, I was a teacher at The Bishop’s School, Pune. Though I was passionate about teaching, I wanted to start my own business. In 2018, I started dealing in laptop bags. But due to demonetization, my business went southward.

Being from Kolkata, I had my network with weavers in hinterland of the state. I started visiting them to source authentic handloom products, i.e sarees, dupattas and blouses. I used to procure these products from the weavers and used to sell in Pune market through exhibitions. I had my first exhibition at an IT park at Pune. Getting good reviews regarding the products inspired me to participate in more exhibitions on occasions like Durga Pujo, Bhai Dooj and others.

My customers bought me more customers. I realized that I had to be ready with stocks all around the year, rather than just on festivals. I opened a home boutique at my place. I soon started marketing these beautiful handloom sarees, blouses and dupattas on my Instagram page, sweet_yellow_pollen.

Seeing my Instagram page, I started receiving orders not only from India but also from abroad. My first export order was to Australia!

In order to reach to larger audience and bring quality handloom products to every beautiful lady, I have created this website.  Today I source authentic handloom products from across the states.  Hope you like our products and designs. I look forward to your feedback. Let’s weave our success story together!!
