Casual kantha jackets with hand-stitched details. Kantha (which means "patched cloth") is a traditional Bengali technique, whereby older pieces of cloth, often saris, are stitched together with a simple running stitch. This creates a durable piece of lightly quilted fabric, with often very eclectic colours and patterns. For each of these jackets, we have selected kanthas which we thought particularly striking. Each piece is quite unique and the ultimate in upcycling.
- Handmade
- Usually cotton fabric
- Each piece is unique (each design has more patterns available in stores!)
- The fabrics have no doubt been washed dozens of times before being made into kantha, but we'd recommend either dry cleaning or a hand wash in cool water. Do not use strong detergents or bleach.
