Raksha Bella: Dressing Beds with Sustainable Old Age Traditions
Tree of Life Pattern in Canton and Mimosa Color
Raksha Bella Organic’s newest Collection of eco-friendly pillowcases, quilts, shams, and duvet covers combine the graceful art of Indian color blocking with sustainable fabrics for one of a kind delicate patterns. Carrie Peter, founder of Raska Bella and ex-interior decorator, founded Raksha Bella after her spiritual journey to India. During her visit, she was struck by the enormous poverty of the Indian cotton farmers, whose farms were destroyed by the use of the modified cotton crop. At the same time, she was entranced with the finely handcrafted textiles featuring age old color blocking techniques.
Her mission in creating Raksha Bella Organic was to restore dignity and wealth to the Indian farmer’s industry and to bring to highlight the beautiful color blocking techniques that she witnessed. The name Raska Bella means as follows: Raksha means protection in Sanskrit, and Bella means beautiful in Latin.
The samples that I was sent were absolutely beautiful. The pictures on my site do not give the patterns justice. They are delicate and intricate with a creamy off-white background. This 225 thread count line is SKAL and GOTS certified and uses AZO-free low impact dyes. In addition, the manufacturing process employs fair labor practices. In addition to the pattern pictured above, the Collection features the following designs:
Rose Pattern in Dusty Cedar
Raj Paisley Pattern in Rum Raisin Color
Indian Rose Pattern in Cress Green Color
The manufacturing suggested retail cost for the Collection is as follows: queen and king duvet covers start at $434, quilts at $455, pillowcases at $46.80 and shams at $22.40. Their expanded website is in its final preparations for launching, and at that time, online orders can be taken. In the meantime, the Collection can be purchased at the following stores:
