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.

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.
Our production partner, Basha, began in one little office in Dhaka, Bangladesh — the most densely populated city in the world. Over the many years they have been in business, creating kantha textiles & jewelry, they have expanded: both in number of staff, and also locations.
It was helpful for some women to leave the norm of their old life environment, to get away, to start fresh in a new city. So, Basha created different offices in varied locations. They established a girls' home to safely house daughters & other vulnerable young women as they come of age.
As Basha has continued to identify the great need of women in Bangladesh, there is another area they have expanded: actively seeking women in brothels & whispering the potential of a new life.
As I was packing for our first family international flight (to London UK), I wanted to make sure that we had everything we needed to make our overnight journey the most comfortable. As you know, those flights can be a little chilly - so I wanted to bring blankets for all of us. Naturally, I wondered...
Can I bring a blanket onto a plane?
In short: YES! According to the TSA you are allowed to both check a blanket in your luggage and to bring a blanket on a plane within a carry-on (and this also includes electric blankets). You can even bring your own blanket in your arms as you would a jacket or hat, without it counting towards your carry-on or personal item limits or paying any extra fees.
When I got married as a baby (4 days over 21), I was still a student. Then, we both worked for a bit, then we had babies, and then my husband was a student. For almost all of those years, our "budget" was: try to not spend money.
This head-in-the-sand tactic has served us... ok... BUT, now that I'm pretending to be a real grownup (at age 35 — youngest children tend to be late to the responsibility party), I'm taking a new approach!
After Christmas, I started using You Need a Budget (YNAB) to track every expense & plan for future spending. Two months in, here’s what I think.
