The cocoon jacket from Anchal is perfect for transitioning from one season to the next. Entirely handmade with buttery-soft organic cotton and beautifully tailored to fit, charming stitch patterns pop against its bone-white background. This oversized jacket is as versatile as it is stylish. Layer it over your favorite dress or pair it with jeans and a t-shirt to upgrade your casual look. Note from Liz: I am honored to carry a selection of bags and coats from Anchal. When I came across Anchal while planning what I would carry at Three Bird Layne, I was first struck by the gorgeous patchwork and stitching. Then as I read more about their story, I realized that their values are literally woven into each item. And that story is further honored when the artists embroider their name into each finished piece they make. More about Anchal: Sisters Maggie and Colleen Clines founded Anchal (pronounced on-chal) in 2010, believing that design can change lives. Anchal provides valuable skills training in textile production and fair-wage employment to marginalized women in India. The holistic program, run by our NGO partner, includes education workshops, health services, and community benefits, fostering financial independence and creativity. The artisans create handmade products that blend traditional techniques with eco-friendly methods like vintage and organic cotton, minimizing environmental impact and championing sustainability in the fashion industry. Each product carries the hand-stitched signature of the woman who skillfully created it.
