Beautifully handmade. Genuinely life-changing.

Anchal is a nonprofit founded by two sisters in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2010. We partner with 200+ women artisans in Ajmer, India to create one-of-a-kind home goods and clothing from upcycled saris and organic cotton. Every purchase supports fair wages, healthcare, and education for the women who make them.

I ADORE this pillow! Like all products, this pillow is a beautifully made, fresh pop of color that brings a vibrant touch of Spring to my couch. It's a perfect size for our substantial piece of furniture. An added bonus is knowing that my purchase has a higher value than just beautifying our home.

This is a site I come back to time and again. I know each item purchased has been carefully handmade by skilled artisans. I also appreciate that the order is tastefully wrapped, lovingly packed, and shipped in a very timely manner. The package even arrives with a HANDWRITTEN thank you note from the Anchal team!

Nobody else makes throws as soft, unique, beautiful, and practical. I love my Anchal Project throws. While I use them all year round, they are especially perfect for those cool days of late spring, summer and early fall, when you need another layer, but nothing too crazy.
