Field Notes

From vintage saris to kantha quilts, we are on a mission to reduce waste from the fashion industry. Each of our Kantha Quilts is one-of-a-kind and handmade using the highest quality upcycled cotton saris. Learn about our process!

For the first time, Anchal’s artisans are flourishing into designers, translating their visual perspective into innovative designs. The Seema Curve Throw Quilt originated through the lens of artisan Seema and her view of an ordinary rooftop in India. The results culminated in a bold modernist composition with layers of 100% organic cotton and activated by a radiating stitch pattern.

Design is at the core of everything we do. We believe design has the power to change lives, which is especially showcased through our Design Workshops. Learn how our 2-day workshops foster creativity and personal growth for Anchal artisans. 

 Impact reporting is so vital to our program because it allows us to see how our efforts are changing the lives of the women we work with, and their families. Learn how our artisans are making their own social impact through the two very different stories of Shama and Shamina.  

“I really love seeing the catalog, your office, and video! You share stories, but this helps me understand where our pieces go and where you work. It made me feel really proud.”
