Anchal is a testament to the power of design and collaboration, led by sisters Colleen and Maggie Clines. Their passion began with the goal of creating change in the lives of women in India, but it evolved into a movement that celebrates sustainable, handcrafted products for the modern home.
- Anchal’s heirloom products are handmade by skilled artisans.
- Their designs bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary, giving a fresh touch to textiles that honor both the past and the future.
- Their approach reduces fabric waste, as their items are crafted using eco-friendly low-impact dyes, vintage fabric, and GOTS certified organic cotton.
- The Kantha stitch, an age-old embroidery technique from India, is the backbone of their products. At Anchal, this traditional stitch undergoes a transformation, combining bold graphics and refined color palettes to achieve a casual sophistication.
- Their textiles reflect not just art, but stories, tying consumers to the very artisans who crafted them.
- Sustainability goes beyond just materials; Anchal’s model ensures longevity through product sales, fostering lasting change in communities.
- At its heart, every Anchal collection draws inspiration from the quilt, representing warmth, comfort, and a timeless appeal.
In the realm of retailers, Anchal’s creations can be found in various boutiques, online marketplaces, and even renowned spaces like the Guggenheim Museum. Anchal isn’t just a brand; it’s a movement towards a more sustainable and mindful way of living.
