Sending a kantha as a gift?
We'll send your gift note the moment their kantha arrives, so they know exactly who it's from.
(Prefer a handwritten note instead? You can still add one during checkout.)
Kantha bedding is made by layering fabric—often repurposed sari—and stitching it together by hand using a traditional running stitch from the Bengal region.
Each quilt is soft, textured, and full of character. Each one carries subtle variation that reflects the hand of the woman who made it.
It depends on the fit you're looking for.
Our Twin/Full pieces offer a relaxed drape on smaller beds or can be layered on larger ones, while Queen and King sizes provide fuller coverage with more overhang.
Because each quilt is one-of-a-kind and unique, you can look at the "Notes on this kantha" tab on each product page for guidance so you can choose the fit that feels right for your space.
We highly recommend spot cleaning or dry cleaning. If needed, you can machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle and tumble dry low. With regular use and gentle care, kantha softens beautifully over time.
Many of our kantha pieces are one-of-a-kind, especially those made from repurposed sari. Others, like our indigo and simplicity bedding, follow a more consistent design while still being hand-stitched and naturally varied. Every piece carries the character of being made by hand.
Our kanthas are stitched by women in Bangladesh, both in workshop settings and from their homes, depending on the piece.
We partner with artisan groups who provide work that is fairly paid, steady and honors the value of each woman’s skill. For many, it creates the opportunity to remain in her community while building something more stable for herself and her family.
We offer a 30-day return window, so you can order with confidence.
That said, our customers tend to fall in love with their kanthas — they become the thing you reach for again and again. If you'd like help choosing the right size or color before ordering, just email us at hello@shopdignify.com. We're happy to help.

"It brightens the room and works in every season. It’s become one of those pieces we always keep out. In the summer, it was the only one I used, now winter, it is perfect for snuggling up with around the house or layering on the bed. It's become my favorite blanket."
