Hand-embroidered heirloom quality kantha quilt throw in one-of-a-kind pattern combinations and color stories for your dream bedscape, cozy armchair nook, or stylish outdoor space. Named after one of the artisan group members to celebrate its uniqueness.
Kantha embroidery consists of a delicate running stitch. As all things crafted by hand it is imperfectly perfect, and therein lies its charm. The density of kantha embroidery makes it complex, with each quilt taking about 20 days to complete.
In this quilted throw, the lines are 0.5 inch apart making them dense, exquisite examples of kantha embroidery full of color and character. The end result is a breathtaking textured quilted throw blanket of heirloom quality.
Each Indian kantha throw blanket is made using 6 layers of soft cotton: the top and bottom are vintage saris, and sandwiched between them are 4 layers of soft hand-loomed cotton fabric. The front and back of each kantha throw vary depending on how the saris are sewn together, so you get to enjoy two unique looks!
Many of you have asked us over the years why we don't employ women in India, and we are committed to working together with businesses that empower women in the artisanal sector. Although wood block printing, used for all our collections, is a male-dominated field, women excel in the equally complex and time-intensive kantha embroidery craft.
We have partnered with an incredible businesswoman who has made women's empowerment and emancipation her life's mission.
She helps women, many of whom are former sex workers, find a path towards economic independence. ...
