Care Instructions for Lasting Elegance

To keep your garment looking its best, wash only if necessary. Steaming is an excellent alternative to refresh its appearance without the wear and tear of washing. If washing is needed, please use the handwash cycle of your washing machine. After washing, lay the item flat to dry to preserve the shape and fabric integrity. By following these simple steps, you'll extend the life and maintain the beauty of your garment.

Kantha: Old Sarees, New Stories

Ever wonder what happens to beautiful old sarees in India? In Sikra village and other small villages in West Bengal and bodering Bangladesh, they get a second life through the age-old Kantha technique.

Here's how it works: Hawkers collect vintage sarees from all over India. These sarees are then layered (at least 4-5 layers) to first make quilts. It's usually done by groups of women who sit together, chatting and stitching, turning these old fabrics into pieces of art. Their nimble fingers create patterns that tell stories - of tradition, of their village, of the fabric's past life.

Once they're done, our tailors step in, shaping these stitched-up saree quilts into wearable art. It's slow fashion at its best - and the best part? Every piece is unique, just like you.

When you wear our Kantha pieces, you're not just looking good. You're wearing someone's labor of love, supporting a village, and giving new life to old cloth. Pretty cool, right?

So next time someone compliments your jacket, you'll have quite a story to tell!
