In-Depth Review
Empowering Women Through Textiles
Anchal Project is a non-profit brand that uses design to create career opportunities for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking in Ajmer, India. The Midnight Flora scarf is more than an accessory; it is a vehicle for social change. By blending traditional Kantha stitching techniques with modern geometric patterns, Anchal creates unique pieces that provide living wages and health benefits to their artisans.
Materials and Craftsmanship
The scarf is crafted using GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified organic cotton and upcycled vintage silk. This combination ensures that the production process avoids toxic pesticides and synthetic dyes that harm local waterways. Each scarf is hand-signed by the artisan who made it, creating a direct connection between the consumer and the maker.
Environmental Stewardship
Anchal focuses on 'upcycling'—the process of transforming older or discarded materials into something of higher value. By reusing vintage silk saris, they reduce textile waste and minimize the need for new fiber production. The organic cotton backing provides durability and comfort, ensuring the scarf lasts through years of wear.
