This kantha quilt is truly enormous, a rare thing to find since kantha quilts were normally made for smaller Indian beds. We have these unique, one-of-a-kind super-king size kantha quilts specially made for us in Bangladesh, using three layers of vintage sari fabric hand hand sewn together with thousands of small, tight kantha stitches.

Newly made vintage kantha quilts are normally about half the size and have looser stitching with fewer threads. With their finer stitching and extra large size ours tick all the boxes for quality, size and uniqueness. Plus each one is completely different since they are all handmade from recycled sari fabric.

A more subtle one than the others, this kantha quilt features a red and yellow stripe pattern on one side and a more subtle pink and brown on the other, making it completely reversible.

SIZE: 280cm x 225cm (110" x 88")
Shown here on a UK Double bed (US Full) displayed with the shorter edge across the bed. With the longer edge across the bed this will easily fit a UK Super King bed (US King).

As a textile made using vintage fabric, 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 Bangladesh using vintage sari fabric

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.
