If you’ve fallen in love with the eco-bedding movement (go to an eco-home store, lay on an organic cotton/natural-latex mattress, and you will), you might be familiar with Raksha Bella Organic Textiles—those beautifully soft handmade quilts and linens with prints reminiscent of India, but with a modern spin.

This summer (June-ish), owner Carrie Peters and designer Erica Tanov will introduce their collaboration: new bedding patterns, and loungeware.

Carrie (and photographer Erica Shires) were sweet enough to give us a preview of the line, shown here.

What’s your favorite? (And who else wants to move their bedroom to a rural grassy field?)

I’m a huge fan of organic, sustainable products. They’re the right choice for the planet, and they’re often the best choice for your health. And Raksha Bella takes that feel-good purchase one step further: Raksha Bella Organic Textiles are made by women who are self employed through the Grameen banking system. This Nobel Peace Prize winning system of micro-loans offers these women an opportunity to live above the poverty line and recover from abuse and ostracism as well as having a practical means for earning a living in something they enjoy. Raksha Bella is committed to, not only
providing a product that is made through fair labor practices and support of organic products, but striving to set an example of a truly humanitarian
philosophy. More info here.

Green values with a gold heart. I love it.

Check out Raksha Bella’s website for their current collection, and check back for the new goods soon. Sleep well
