checkered patchwork quilt made in collaboration with Anchal x Bloomingdales

Bloomingdale's

Anchal crafted a limited-edition organic cotton quilt exclusively for Bloomingdale’s. Inspired by the storied tradition of Indian madras designs, the contemporary checkered pattern brought a modern twist to heritage. These exclusive quilts were showcased in 12 Bloomingdale’s stores nationwide and also available online.

Guggenheim Museum Store

For its second collaboration with the Guggenheim Museum Store, Anchal was invited to honor the works of Brooklyn-born artist Alex Katz through an exclusive, limited-edition capsule collection. Drawing inspiration from Katz’s iconic use of bold color, refined compositions, and economy of line, the collection was influenced by his paintings The Red Smile and Yellow Tree 1. It featured an array of products, including quilts, tote bags, weekender bags, scarves, and quilted chore jackets.

Anchal was commissioned to create custom textile art for Bunkhouse’s Hotel Genevieve, drawing inspiration from Louisville, Kentucky's vernacular imagery. The piece’s design is an abstracted steamboat wheel, crafted with  a colorful array of patchworked panels embellished  with kantha stitching. These vibrant framed artworks are showcased in 118 hotel rooms.

Ace Hotel

Anchal created custom laundry bags for Maison de la Luz, Ace’s luxury boutique hotel in the heart of New Orleans. Designed for both form and function, these bespoke items were crafted to complement the local art featured in each room, enhancing the hotel’s unique aesthetic.

Guggenheim Museum Store

In 2018, Anchal partnered with the Guggenheim Museum to design an exclusive capsule collection inspired by the modernist work of painter, Hilma af Klint. The named Spiral and Radial collection featured two quilts, scarves, tote bags, and a kimono jacket. These pieces incorporated abstract geometric forms and shades of brilliant color that exuded Hilma’s powerful aesthetic.

Brooklinen

The Brooklinen x Anchal Collection was a limited edition of handcrafted, custom-made quilted bedding, throws, and pillows, exclusively designed for the Brooklyn-based luxury linens company. This collection seamlessly blended Anchal's signature contemporary quilting techniques with Brooklinen's minimalist aesthetic, creating museum-worthy yet functional decor that combines calm and comfort.

Madewell

For the launch of Madewell's Fair Trade Certified collection of denim, in February 2019, they selected three of Anchal's organic-cotton quilt designs to decorate the store windows of 120+ stores across the United States and London. In conjunction with the window displays, our contemporary home goods and travel bags became available to Madewell customers via the company’s website.

Causebox

Anchal partnered with CAUSEBOX (now Alltrue), a subscription box featuring socially conscious and sustainable goods, to design the exclusive Winter 2017 box. Drawing inspiration from our Naari quilt, we transformed its warm pattern into the perfect cozy design for the boxes.

America Ferrera

Developed in collaboration with actor America Ferrera following her visit to India for Nicholas Kristof’s PBS documentary, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, the Didi Connection united women globally through the sales of 600 scarves. In India, women affectionately call each other "didi," meaning sister in Hindi. By purchasing a unique Didi scarf, customers supported their Indian sisters. The campaign provided year-long funding for 15 artisans.
