THE BEST OF KANTHA FOR ALL!
• 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!
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.
— Peggy
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.
— Amber
Give them a gift that is meaningful, useful, unique, & appreciated.
Super-soft, one-of-a-kind kantha minis are faves for kids and their moms... from cribs & car seats to tea parties & adventures in the woods.

Last week, this article was published in the UK's Guardian, entitled The living hell of young girls enslaved in Bangladesh's brothels.
Our production partner, Basha, shared the link on their Facebook page with the following caption:
"This article gives you a glimpse of just how girls are broken down until they believe they feel they have no option but to stay in the brothel. We are committed to expanding our partnerships with non profits such as Friends of Basha to provide women a way out. And when you purchase Basha products, you make a way for us to hire more women. Articles like this fire me up to fight for freedom for these women. What about you?"
For me, here is the honest answer to the last question:
This week, I read about Uber's co-founder Garrett Camp reportedly paying $72.5 million for a mansion in the 90210, a record high for Beverly Hills real estate.
Wait, wasn't it only months ago that Uber went public with their IPO, stating that the company "may not achieve profitability"? In fact, revenues surged last year by more than 40% to $11.3 billion, but somehow Uber actually lost $1.8 billion (yes, 1.8 BILLION DOLLARS) in 2018 (reference).
Straight up: I don't understand these economics.
I recently read that some of the alarmist "facts" thrown around — namely, that the fashion industry is the world's second biggest polluter — are not entirely traceable, and may constitute "fake news".
But, whether this specific claim is true or not, it is clear that our consumptive habits have run wild. Here are a few (actual) facts related to the fashion industry:
Hundreds of women agree, it's the
