This large, reversible vintage kantha quilt in vibrant orange, black and pink was originally hand-crafted in Bengal, India, made using layers of vintage sari fabric sewn together using hundreds of fine, delicate kantha stitches. 

This kantha quilt is a mid weight in a really big size and in almost perfect condition. It features a dramatic orange and green floral pattern on one side and slightly more subtle colours on the other, making it completely reversible.

"Kantha" simply means running stitch, a technique used for centuries for this type of traditional Indian bedcover or throw. Each one is completely unique since they were made using up to 10 layers of old saris and other textiles hand sewn together by women in the home.

Incredibly versatile, this beautiful, one of a kind textile will add a burst of colour, texture, and authentic bohemian charm to any space. Drape it across your bed as a statement throw, layer it over a sofa for warmth and style, hang it as a curtain or let it make an impact as a wall hanging. 

SIZE: 220cm x 160cm (87" x 63")
Shown here on a UK Double bed (US Full Size). It will also fit a king-size bed or can be used lengthways on a smaller bed.

As a true vintage textile, it carries the charm of its past life. Expect small imperfections, patches, and worn areas where the layers of fabric peek through, these are not flaws, but part of its history and character.

This is a one-off design, so when it’s gone, it’s gone!

Handmade in India, 20th Century vintage.

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.

Care information
