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.

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.
We've listened to the soundtrack to The Greatest Showman countless times in my house (or, as my music app tells me: around 30), and the chorus of this song — "Never Enough" — keeps ringing through my head.
The song itself is about love (ie. without you, all the amazing things in the world will never be enough), but as we head into the busiest shopping season of the year, I feel like "Never Enough" is the battle cry of retail marketing.
“We don’t hire homies to bake bread, we bake bread to hire homies.”
I have often written about my love & admiration for Father Greg Boyle (Father G) and the work he has done with the gang population in Los Angeles with Homeboy Industries. It is not an easy thing to promote the dignity of people who have been involved in violent criminality, finding kinship in mutual love and respect.
This line — “We don’t hire homies to bake bread, we bake bread to hire homies.” — is a perfect description of the complex dynamic of running a business that is, at its core, motivated to employ a marginalized population.
For many of us — perhaps especially if you have kids in school, or an affinity for fall —, September is the perfect time for a fresh start. I wrote last week about my fresh exercise start after a summer of indulgence!
Whether it is the new calendar year, or a new school year, milestones offer a great chance for fresh starts. I think it is a fantastic time to dream about what will be different, what systems can change & improve, and how to begin well.
But here we are, mid-way through September, and I want to offer another thought:
Hundreds of women agree, it's the
