(Scroll down for instructions to submit your own dignify review.)

I LOVE my kantha blankets!! I may have an addiction to them. :) I have two at work that I use at my desk and I sleep with one almost every night.

They are the perfect size and weight. And of course the patterns and colors are gorgeous!! The story behind each one makes them even better.

I love the fabric, and the quality work! It is a beautiful piece in our home, and not only does it get a lot of compliments, but it is actually a workhorse piece. It keeps us warm, and is easy to clean.

I received my first Kantha throw from my daughter. I absolutely loved the colours and the wonderful story behind the company. This led me to purchase two more along with the Indigo queen size blanket for my bed. I have also purchased two small ones for two of my grandchildren. As you can see I love the quality, colours and the fact that this supports these wonderful women.

What Customers Say About Our Blankets:

You can read customer-submitted reviews two ways:

on each blanket's product page (reviews are featured below the product photos & description).

Due to the turnover of our one-of-a-kind blankets, every review on any blanket is gathered together in that product's category. i.e. One review applies to all classic throws. Same for large throws, silk blend throws, pillows, table runners, stockings, etc.
Customers have additionally shared kind words & photos on social media, by email, and in private messages. We collect all of those comments here.

Honesty about bad reviews:

In the history of dignify (est. 2012), we have only ever deleted one customer review — a 1-star comment that the blanket was “2 layers of silk with no batting between them”. Since that doesn’t describe our products at all (and the reviewer’s email corresponded to no orders placed) we concluded it must have been a review of a different company’s product. The 5-star average reviews have not been culled — they are honest customer submissions.

“Good quality, poor variety” — One positive (4-star) review also raised some helpful critiques on our variety & pattern matching.
Here is an explainer on how we choose patterns, match saris, and the joys & limitations of our kantha offerings.

SHARE YOUR OWN REVIEW:

Over the nearly two years [update: now 8!] we have been selling kantha blankets & more at dignify, I have heard so many comments back from friends & fans of dignify. Now, I want everyone to hear them!

I’ve added a “Customer Review” to every product page, allowing for you to give feedback or share your thoughts on any product you’ve purchased from dignify. Would you consider sharing your feedback?

Feedback from customers will allow us to best serve you in providing the best products that meet your needs & wants. It also allows potential buyers to get a more accurate description from a user’s perspective. AND: we just love to hear your stories!

How to Review:

Because each blanket is unique, the reviews submitted for any classic kantha throw will appear for every kantha throw page. The same goes for categories of the large kantha throws, kantha minis, and silk blend throws. The rest of the products’ reviews are specific to the individual item/page.

On each page, you will see this box next to the product photos. Click “Write a review”

The box will expand to four input boxes, along with a star rating. Your email will not be visible, but is simply behind the scenes should I need to contact you (as well as to ensure real people are submitting reviews).

You can share details like how you have used your blanket, what you like about it, where it is used in your home; or, if it was a gift: how it was received or what was the occasion; or any other comments you may have about the product or the experience of purchasing.

Reviews are featured on every product, so if there are other items you would like to review - please do!

Any feedback is thoroughly appreciated! THANKS AGAIN for your support. It means so much.

A Wonderful Story

February 05, 2021 3 min read 3 Comments

Somehow, impossibly, I travelled around the world one year ago!

I am deeply grateful to have taken a trip to Bangladesh when I did. I was at a stage of my life & business when the adrenaline had long worn off, and I was a getting a bit stuck in a cultural mindset trap: "I don't feel like doing this every day."

More details on that, I'll save for another day (or perhaps for a more intimate conversation!). But, let it suffice to say that my colleagues in Bangladesh do NOT operate from that mindset... it doesn't even factor into the conversation.

Being reminded of this, as well as seeing — in person — the inner workings and impact of the blanket biz on the production side... well, it was deeply regenerative for me.

If I had not visited in January 2020, I don't know when that trip would have taken place! Soooo thankful.

Here is one story of a woman artisan I met: Poli.

Waiting... & The Dignity of the Present

January 23, 2021 2 min read 1 Comment

This season for dignify has challenged us with waiting. Blankets have been leaving our hands at the fastest pace ever (yay!) and we are trying to simply keep up. Add extra inconveniences & delays (from COVID, from customs checks, and more), and we have been really exercising our muscles in patience, trust, and gratitude.

Culturally, we are in a stage of waiting, as well. Waiting for vaccine rollout. Waiting for "normal" opportunities to return, for "normal" life to resume in our cities, our nations.
