Kantha mini blankets are six layers of vintage saris, hand-stitched together by women in Bangladesh using a traditional kantha stitch.
Made of 100% reclaimed cotton sari cloth.
Mini kantha blankets are approx. one quarter of a sari size: 1 m x 1 m (3'4" x 3'4"); half the size of our throw blankets.
This mini kantha quilt is stitched in 12 hours by hand (on average, depending on experience).
Multiple mini blankets are produced from the same cloth; photos are an accurate representation of the cloth & colours, but each blanket features unique variations.
Handcrafted by women who were previously trafficked into or otherwise engaged in formal or floating sex work (or at risk), now employed in work that brings dignity & livelihood. Read more...
