Each one-of-a-kind Vintage Cotton Kantha Apron tells a story: the story of the artisan who created it. Featuring over three color palettes, three large pockets and adjustable ties, this apron is perfect for any kind of creator out there. Each apron is created with vintage fabrics, GOTS certified organic cotton and eco-friendly low-impact dyes, making it not just sustainable but safe for the environment.
Anchal, the nonprofit that produces these unique aprons, strives to challenge the unethical common practices of textile factories by giving women in India a chance to train their skills and practice their craft while receiving a respectable pay. According to Anchal, "95% of Anchal artisans have left the commercial sex trade or dramatically reduced their clients." Anchal not only gives these women jobs, but helps them create a stable life for themselves and their families. "...100% of artisans are investing in their children's education, thereby breaking the cycle of exploitation."
So remember this while browsing through their aprons on our website:
Your purchase creates a much bigger impact than you think. Not only does it support the artisans at Anchal, but it aids in Anchal's battle in the employment inequality for women.
