“With backgrounds in design, sisters Colleen and Maggie Clines lead the organization by placing design and collaboration at the center of Anchal’s practice. Anchal honors the “slow fashion movement by hand-stitching one-of-a-kind, pieces that reduce fabric waste and are made from eco-friendly low-impact dyes, vintage fabric and GOTS certified organic cotton.” They “challenge the textile industry’s exploitative practices by investing in our artisans and creating a human connection that extends worldwide. Each design explores the relationship between art and storytelling, bridging the gap between consumers and each piece’s maker along her journey to empowerment.”
Anchal is based in Louisville, Kentucky.
