Add colour, texture, and personality to your home with a beautiful vintage kantha quilt. Used as a throw, draped on a chair or on the end of your bed, these unique pieces represent a connection to a centuries old textile tradition, and to the creativity and skill of Bengali women.

Made from old saris, layered and finely stitched by hand using the traditional Bengali running (kantha) stitch, each piece is unique. You can read more about the history of kantha quilts on the blog.

The ultimate in upcycling, these quilts are versatile, durable and require a minimum of care.  This vintage quilt has been given new life with a fresh Bagru blockprint design. The printing traditionally associated with the town of Bagru in Rajasthan uses natural vegetable dyes and floral motifs. This generously sized quilt features an indigo blue and lime green retro style floral print on an olive green background, with the reverse featuring a simple geometric design in lime green, which allows the original  green check of the sari fabric to show through.

  • Multiple fabric layers, hand quilted
  • Designed and made in India

NOTE : These quilts are printed and stitched by hand. Any variation or inconsistency is not to be construed as a fault, but part of the intrinsic beauty of the handmade process.
