Artisans

Tilonia, a small village in the desert regions of Rajasthan, India, is home of the Barefoot College. Since 1972, the College has worked to improve the lives of the rural poor by addressing basic needs for water, electricity, housing, health, education and income. Tilonia® helps these rural artisans to market their products in India and around the world. With new markets for their crafts, their livelihood is improved and the traditional crafts are continued.

The Tilonia®collection of home textiles features a variety of decorative pillows, bedspreads, quilts, duvet covers, table linens and shower curtains, suitable for contemporary decorative styles while still reflective of Indian craft traditions. Our collection of gifts and accessories offers handcrafted scarves and shawls, appliquéd and quilted bags, handmade paper books, and colorful decorative items for the home.
