A handcrafted patchwork quilt that comes embroidered with the signature of its maker, and supports the empowerment of women artisans.
Purkal Stree Shakti Samiti was established in 2003 in Dehradun by Chinni Swamy, a painter and alumna of Sir JJ School of Art, to uplift the local women and make them financially independent. Today, around 100 women from nearly 45 villages around Dehradun contribute to this business, many of whom have taken on enterprising leadership roles and are passing on work to other women in their respective villages. A true example of slow fashion, each product at Purkal Stree Shakti Samiti is hand-sewn and takes anywhere from one to six months to complete, depending on its intricacy. Every piece is distinct not only for its appearance but also for the attention and skill of the artisans who create it. We love this single patchwork quilt made by Deepa, and think it'd work fabulously in a guest bedroom or children's room. PS: We also like this single quilt patchwork design that comes with a blockprinted elephant print backing.
We are driven by curiosity, and a deep love for product, and are committed to transparency. We scour the internet to find products we love—from brands we trust. We look for things that stand out for their distinctive design, quality and mindfulness. We recommend these finds on the Souk website and in our newsletters—and tell you exactly why we like them. Like any friend would do.
If you're new to this, here's the deal — when you buy something through a link on Souk, we may earn a percentage of the sale, but it is at no extra cost to you. This allows us to remain independent and focused on curating only what we genuinely love. Any ad or sponsored post will be clearly labelled as such — there are no secret product placements on Souk! Each time you use our links to buy something, it supports our team's hard work as your trusted shopping buddy.
