The Art of Kantha, Explained…..

Kantha is more than just a textile; it’s a testament to the resourcefulness and artistry of Bengali women. For centuries, they have transformed worn saris and fabric scraps into exquisite quilted throws, each telling a unique story through its intricate stitches and vibrant patterns.

The word “kantha” refers to both the running stitch used and the finished piece itself. Layers of vintage cotton saris are carefully stacked and then stitched together, often incorporating delicate embroidery and motifs inspired by nature, mythology, and everyday life. This meticulous process can take weeks or even months to complete, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

Kantha embodies the principles of upcycling and zero waste, giving new life to discarded materials. No two kantha pieces are exactly alike, making each one a treasured work of art.
