Anokhi’s roots lie in Jaipur, a city whose founders were enlightened patrons of the arts and crafts. Skilled artisans practicing myriad craft forms – block carving and printing amongst them – were invited to settle there and were ensured a secure livelihood.
Founded by John and Faith Singh in 1970, ANOKHI began when Jaipur’s block printing industry was at a very low ebb. Modern manufacturing processes had marginalized handmade practices. To help revitalise these age-old skills, ANOKHI started working with craftspeople in and around Jaipur: block carvers and printers, dyers, embroiderers and bead workers. Listening to their concerns, the Singhs aimed to maintain an open & honest relationship with the artisans while committing to provide sustained work throughout the year.
ANOKHI became known as an alternative role model for good business practices and its ongoing commitment to the revival of traditional textile skills. Unique hand-made pieces can now be found in small independent shops dotted around the UK and across the craft – loving world – from Paris to Kyoto, San Francisco to Bogota and of course Australia!
This hand selected range of cotton tablecloths are an amazing example of the craftspeople's mindboggling skills. From the quality of the Indian cotton fabric to the intricate hand-carved timber blocks, not to mention the skill involved in stamping the layers of pattern and colour. A joy to have in your home to be admired every day on your dining table. The larger cloths are great as a Summer bedcovering also.
