Add colour, texture, and personality to your home with a beautiful vintage kantha quilt. Used as a throw, draped on a chair or on the end of your bed, these unique pieces represent a connection to a centuries old textile tradition, and to the creativity and skill of Bengali women.
Made from old saris, layered and finely stitched by hand using the traditional Bengali running (kantha) stitch, each piece is unique. You can read more about the history of kantha quilts on the blog.
The ultimate in upcycling, these quilts are versatile, durable and require a minimum of care. This vintage quilt has been given new life with a fresh Bagru blockprint design. The printing traditionally associated with the town of Bagru in Rajasthan uses natural vegetable dyes and floral motifs. This lovely quilt features stylised mustard and vintage red flowers on a taupe background, while the reverse has an unusual lantern print in mustard and vintage red, with the original embroidered edging of the sari in emerald green.
