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!

Absolutely Love!

I am a big fan of all of the kantha products, but the sleeveless vests are by far the most versatile for me. I now own two of them. One for light colored outfits with white piping and one for darker colored outfits with black piping. And because they are reversible, I have 4 vests! They have lovely pockets on both sides which are good for small items like chapstick or a small wallet or keys. I find these so useful as I can put a wallet on the inside pocket to keep it safer and my chapstick in the outside pocket. They are not quite big enough for your phone to be secure, but I have other pockets on my clothes for that. The patterns are all so unique it is hard to choose. I am still on the lookout for my rainbow colored one and will keep looking at all the future drops. One suggestion for a possible future product …a tunic or long version of the sleeveless vests. I personally would love something like this.

Beautiful.

I was wearing my kantha jacket and my rewool reversible shawl out to lunch today with my father and sister. The jacket was in my closet for a long time, I didn’t like the fit at the back and it was hard to match with other items in my wardrobe. But today was the day I put the right outfit together. Please don’t mind the dirty mirror: I blame my kids 😉.

Love this

The colour of the coat is stunning and can be wonderfully combined with many things. The fabric is a little thinner than my other coats, but this coat can also be worn as a dress with a belt. I love this versatile coat.
