Gleam Silk Blend Kantha Throw

• Kantha silk blend throw blankets are six layers of vintage saris, hand-stitched together by women in Bangladesh using a traditional kantha stitch.
• Made of a silk blend of reclaimed sari cloth: discarded by the producers for flaws, colour variation, outdated patterns, or was a remnant.
• Throws are half the length of a sari: approximately 2 m x 1 m (6'8" x 3'4"). (Hard time picturing it? Here's an explainer for our blanket photos >)

• 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...
