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.)
The layer that brings the whole room together.
This vintage kantha is among the most substantial pieces we carry. Stitched slowly by hand in the traditional style of northern Bengal, it has a depth, weight, and presence that changes the feel of the bed entirely.
Made from layers of repurposed sari, the dense stitching and rich variation in color and pattern give it a sense of movement and character that can't be replicated. No two are ever alike.
Designed for a full bed or to layer across a couch, offering a relaxed drape with shorter drop along the sides. On larger beds, it layers beautifully across the foot.
Handcrafted by a woman in rural Bangladesh, she works for several hours each day and completes a piece like this over the course of about two months. This kind of work allows her to stay in her home community while earning steady income through her skill.
Some things take time to make well. This is one of them.
The size of this blanket is approximately 95" x 61.5". This chartreuse and golden vintage masterpiece kantha features a Projapati (butterfly) stitch pattern in orange and black, finished with a beautiful woven gold sari trim along one edge and a small green patch stitched into the corner. The other side is a golden mustard block-print sari fabric, densely patterned with a fine black diamond lattice and alternating floral vine stripes, finished with a curved wavy seam along the border.

Like our classic kantha throws, special kantha are 100% cotton and will not warp or distort from heat. However, the nature of the stitching is more delicate; handle with care.
If you would like to wash your blanket in a machine, use a protective bag or cover if possible. Do not wash in a top-loading machine.
To extend the life of your kantha we recommend: limit full washing, and hang dry or tumble on low.
