Tilonia Home is an online craftstore that benefits Barefoot College in Tilonia, Rajasthan, India. The college works to meet the needs of the poorest of the poor in this region by promoting the production of rural arts. Tilonian craftsmen and women attend the college to learn how to improve their design techniques and gain access to marketing outlets. These rural artisans produce clothing, accessories, home furnishings, paper products, toys, metalwork, and leather goods.

Couldn’t you see this in an Anthropologie catalog for some outrageous sum of money? Yet this is only $109.95, it’s 100% cotton voile with combed cotton filling, and it helps bring people food, water, education and the path to self-sufficiency. What’s not to love?
