Mini kantha quilt in shades of teal & pink, handwoven in Bangladesh

Description

Repurposed saris, layered and joined with straight rows of even stitching, tell a story of Bangladesh and of lives made new. Bright colours, bold prints, and unique pairings reflect local vibrancy and spirit and ensure no one else has a blanket exactly like yours.

Our mini vintage cotton kantha throw is the perfect size for babies or children, to use as picnic blankets or for keeping warm and snuggling on the sofa. This beautiful blanket combines straight even rows of hand stitching known as kantha. Stitching is sharp and bold and each piece carefully edged by hand with a blanket stitch. The word 'kantha' means 'patched cloth' and Bangladeshi and Northwest Indian women have made quilts like this for centuries. Kantha throw quilts are six superimposed layers of vintage saris, carefully hand-stitched together.
