A Textile Heritage Listed by UNESCO
Kantha, whose name comes from the Sanskrit "Kontha" meaning rags, is a traditional embroidery technique going back several centuries. The women of Bengal gather and hand-embroider several layers of recycled saris to give them new life as bedspreads. Beyond its textile function, this practice is a true social bond and a means of emancipation for these women artisans.
A Unique Piece, Rooted in an Ancestral Art
Made from old textiles, each kantha carries the marks of time and the imprint of its history. Slight irregularities in the embroidery show its authentic, handmade character, making each piece truly singular.
