THE BEST OF KANTHA FOR ALL!
👆This was a question I received from our contact form a few months ago.
With respect, I think that starting with this question... probably reveals that we are beginning on different pages. Nonetheless, it is a conversation worth exploring and a question worth asking.
In fact, what the writer asked for was a comparison list; so, here we go:
Beyond this comparison list, nothing accounts for the actual, real care & love that women receive when they work at Basha. There are many difficulties for women who have experienced trauma — including the challenge of being "good" employees! Basha extends grace, care, and promote dignity for each of their artisans... not as assets to produce goods, but as persons of great, treasured value.
You can read more about Basha here, browse our Shop Good blog for more on dignify's philosophy (and differentiators). Or, feel free to comment below or ask further questions!
This site reminds of my beloved MarketplaceIndia.com, with whom I have been shopping since their beginning. What pleasure I will have in shopping with you now!
A friend recently asked on Facebook for “the most challenging and enlightening resource you have read/watched about the problem of racism in America”. This question received numerous responses within the day: half a dozen films, dozens of books, podcasts, courses, and other hubs of information resources (as well as the astute reply, “Conversation”, which is, of course, the most relational and human of “resources”).
I think that this experience was shared by most people in early June (as protests & concerns over racial injustice had reached a critical volume): so many resources, so much to learn.
But now, 2 months later… what have we done with the magnitude of worthy, fascinating, perspective-altering information & insights that have been brought to our attention?
And this it only in the area racial injustice. In other interests & concerns: How much do we know? How much have we learned & read & listened to already?
Approximately 25 years ago (in March 2020), we did a customer/reader survey. I asked what you like to read on the blog & one of the respondents suggested a post on "living generously". What a fabulous idea and perfect for this time in history!
[The title of this post implies some kind of authority or expertise — ha! Nope, no experts here... just some thoughts on generosity from a fellow human, trying to make my way!]
A few weeks ago, I bumped into another grade 1 parent at the park, an acquaintance I knew from school events. As we chatted about our strange time since mid-March (working from home; restless but resilient kids; he hadn’t stepped foot in a store for 3 months...), he made an interesting remark:
We’ve looked at our bank account at the end of each month and thought, “what were we spending all that money on?!”

I just learned of you from an online seminar by Mary Sue Fenner & I just love all the beautiful prints of the “blankets”
it is also amazing that any sales will help these deserving women.
I would like to know the various sizes of the following: classic throws, large throws, silk blend throws,
simplicity throws, indigo throws and mini kantha.
I would also like to know if they are all the same thickness -how many layers of fabric?
thank you so much!
