The Anchal Project will open its first retail space Saturday at 1229 S Shelby Street in the Shelby Park Neighborhood. It’s a dream almost 15 years in the making for founders and sisters Colleen and Maggie Clines. The Anchal Project is a nonprofit clothing and home decor brand that works with a non-governmental organization in India to employ more than 200 female artisans, paying them a living wage. For co-founder Colleen Clines, the effects these jobs have on these women can be life-changing.”When women are the primary breadwinners, they can impact their children’s lives,” Clines said. “They can buy fresh fruits and vegetables and send their kids to private school. Over the last decade, the brand has grown rapidly, with major retailers selling their clothing and home goods coast to coast. With so much success, the sisters acknowledged they could have opened this store almost anywhere, but they wanted to keep it in Louisville.”We love Louisville,” Colleen Clines Said. “Being from Louisville, it was important for me to do it here and bring national attention to our city.”From Louisville to India back to Louisville: The design process at the Anchal ProjectThe store is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
