• 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.
