🔗 Shipping, duties & taxes

This large, heavy kantha quilt was hand crafted many years ago in Bengal using layers of white sari fabric, with intricate geometric patterns hand sewn with tiny stitches known as "lohori" or wave pattern. This one features a detailed zig zag pattern in pink and black.

This one is in virtually perfect condition and has minuscule stitching that mirrors the pattern almost exactly on both sides, a skill that takes years of practice to master, so this quilt was made by someone incredibly talented. 

Observe the stitching up close to see how the pattern is created. Different colours of thread in black and deep pink create a subtle pattern that appears pink and grey from a distance, easily mistaken for a simple weave.

APPROX SIZE: 195cm x 125cm (77" x 49")

Ideal to throw over the end of a UK double bed

This is a one-off, completely unique design, so when it's gone it's gone! It's a true vintage piece, so expect imperfections, patched details, marks and worn sections that reveal the layers below. We do our best to photograph all the details but remember that you are purchasing a unique, vintage textile piece that has been handmade and used in the past.

Handmade in India

Materials


100% recycled cotton
Kantha quilts have been made for centuries by artisans in rural India. They are handmade from layers of recycled hand printed sarees which are hand stitched together to create a reversible, one of a kind blanket.
Each one is completely unique and they come in different sizes, thicknesses and qualities.
Some are at least a few generations old and show all the signs of being loved in the past, with gives them a unique texture and softness. Others are more recent but in great condition, with fewer signs of use.
We hand select our kantha quilts for their bright colours, versatile sizes and unique patterns, and photograph them in as much detail as possible so that you can see the beautiful features of each one.
We wash them to remove as many marks as possible, and we will sometimes patch over any large holes using offcuts of kantha quilts, using the same technique as the original artisans would have.
