Empowering One-of-a-Kind Homeware

Clines Sisters Boasts the Women-Empowering Anchal Project

— March 25, 2020 — Social Good
The Anchal Project is "a nonprofit social enterprise by the Clines Sisters" and the initiative offers consumers one-of-a-kind homeware goods. From expertly crafted embroidered pillows that will elevate the aesthetic of one's living room to playfully colored quilted throws to create a picture-perfect bedding situation, the project is much more than allowing consumers to get their hands on artisanal goods.

Aside from using eco-friendly low-impact dyes, GOTS certified organic cotton and vintage fabrics, the modern one-of-a-kind homeware collection is also empowering to female artisans. The Anchal Project employs "women who've left the commercial sex trade," allowing them to make 30-50% more money than their previous occupation and helping them to learn new skills.

The one-of-a-kind homeware collections are available for purchase through Design Milk.
