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.

Shop Like It Matters

November 27, 2020 3 min read 2 Comments

My husband was dropping off our parcels recently, and a woman working in our shipper's office said, "I was looking at your site, and I think I might buy some of these blankets this year as gifts; I'm mostly shopping online." Another employee chimed in, "I'm going to do all of my shopping online, too."

That evening, he went with our kids to the mall to pick something up (masked, natch), and as he surveyed the hallways — with some permanently closed stores, some shuttered from lack of employees, etc. — Wayne's thought was, "I think I need to do all my shopping at the mall!"

Pattern Matching & Color Combinations In Our Kantha Blankets

October 24, 2020 5 min read

Recently, dignify received a review on our blankets that addressed the variety of our styles (color/pattern), and the contrast/matching choices that go into our kantha. Let's take a glimpse behind-the-scenes at the number of factors that contribute to these decisions.

How do we choose the fabric? How do we match saris to create the kantha blankets? Why are some combinations bad? Why aren’t there more grey/buttery yellow/navy blue color combos?

I know that many of you have wondered about these questions from time to time, too!

Reconsidering Shopping at Amazon

October 16, 2020 4 min read 3 Comments

This week, I posted on my personal Facebook page about Amazon's Prime Day, with some stats that bothered me.

A thoughtful friend commented with honesty,

"Could you share some more of your insights about Amazon. I don’t disagree that their model is terrible but I also haven’t been convinced enough to forgo the crazy convenience of it.

Help convince me!"

Here is the response I posted.
