ANCHAL PROJECT

COLLEEN CLINES [2010, Master of Landscape Architecture]

Based in Louisville, KY

Anchal (on-chal) believes design can change lives. As a non-profit social enterprise, Anchal uses design thinking to create innovative products and sustainable employment for exploited women worldwide.

Anchal’s designs explore the synthesis of vernacular imagery, heritage artwork and a maker’s journey to empowerment. The contemporary graphic designs are defined by sophisticated patchwork and aggregated stitch patterns, revolutionizing traditional kantha quilting techniques.

Anchal’s home goods and accessories are entirely hand-stitched by Anchal’s 130 artisans in Ajmer, India with layers of the softest GOTS certified organic cotton since 2010. All of Anchal’s heirloom quality pieces are artfully crafted with the highest quality and attention to detail.

Anchal is the proud recipient of NY NOW’s 2017 Winter Market “Best in Market” & “Best New Product – Handmade Global Design”, awarded by Apartment Therapy. Additionally, Anchal products have been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Better Homes & Gardens, Design Sponge, Brides.com & GOOD Magazine.
