Our exquisite vintage Kantha quilts are a true celebration of artistry, sustainability and global impact. These quilts have been pre selected from hundreds. The idea is to upcycling old saris and using a traditional Kantha stitch to mend them together by hand, also known as the running stitch the tedious work give the blanket strength and texture.
Kantha Quilts are a timeless form of Indian textile art, where fabrics are repurposed and revived through intricate hand-stitching. Originating from the rural regions of West Bengal and Bangladesh, this method of upcycling saris has been passed down through generations of women, who transform old fabrics into beautiful, functional works of art.
They can range from two layers, to a heavier 4 layer. The vintage Kantha quilts make perfect bed blankets, bed scarves, sofa covers and some are so beautiful, you could hang them on a wall. You will be delighted by the colours and textures. The closer smaller running stitches take the longest. They are usually older and a higher quality.
Most of our kantha blankets are cotton. approximately 60x85 inches
Due to the nature of the vintage and repurposed fabrics, you may notice some small holes, irregularities, or signs of wear in the Kantha Quilts
