THE BEST OF KANTHA FOR ALL!
KANTHA THROWS Wrapped in love
KANTHA THROWS
"Hands down, it’s the best gift
I’ve given to others," — Sarah Bessey
• Hand-stitched in Bangladesh from six layers of vintage sari cloth
• Made by women in a vulnerable, high risk situation or in recovery from sexual oppression.
• One (or two) of a kind. Each blanket is totally unique!
Kantha (meaning "patched cloth") is a tradition and a craft. We use kantha to refer to the small, straight, running stitch that quilts our sari-cloth blankets together.
The tradition of kantha, originated in the Bengal region of eastern South Asia, captures a long history of making something useful & beautiful out of discarded cloth.
All our products are made by vulnerable & at-risk women in Bangladesh, including survivors of trafficking & exploitation.
Our production partner, Basha, is a generous, safe, kind- & whole-hearted business that employs these women in dignified, sustainable work.
I Opened the Package and Gasped
I am a repeat customer. New kantha day is the best day. My husband and I are currently becoming re-certified for foster parenting... and one of the first things I purchased was a mini kantha. Because, I mean, what else do you need?

Simply Fantastic
I absolutely love everything about these blankets. From the mission, to the appearance, the soft subtle texture of the cloth.....simply fantastic.

I Love Your Company!
Your beautiful Kantha blankets are the perfect wedding gift; thank you so much for offering such a gorgeous present with a powerful social message. I know my friends will love it as much as I do.

A Gift You Can Be Proud to Give
These are exceptionally well made, with beautiful saturated colors. I have a house full of kanthas from various sources, some fairly flimsy, some made with fabric that is quite worn. Dignify kanthas are thick and beautifully stitched, made to last a lifetime -- or more!

When I see my throws, they just make me smile.
I have loved every throw that I have purchased for myself (I now have 5 for my house and there is always someone wrapped up in one) and as gifts. The gifts have all been well received and loved as well. Your ethics/company have also changed my thought process on how I shop. I try to "buy" with integrity and dual purpose now. Thank you.

A Triumph
I'm in love with my nine (yikes!) throws. I rotate them in the house, and store them rolled up in a basket in the living room. Each one represents triumph for the woman who stitched it, which makes them even more beautiful to me.

I can't really think of better value in a purchase.
What you sell is not only beautiful and purposeful, it translates into a reasonable hope for the people you buy from. I can't really think of better value in a purchase — and I think it's obvious I'm not just talking monetary value.
