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.

  • One-of-a-kind kantha coverlet (Full)
  • Best for: your couch or a full bed with a fitted, tailored drape and minimal overhang
  • Made from repurposed sari and cotton (2–4 layers)
  • Traditional Northern-style kantha: dense stitching with thicker thread
  • Made by women artisan partners in a village outside of Dhaka, Bangladesh, creating dignified work and economic opportunity for their families
  • Ethically handmade with fair wages and safe working conditions at every step
  • Variations in color, stitching, and size are part of the process—and part of what make it beautiful
  • Care: spot clean or dry clean preferred; delicate cold wash and low tumble dry as a secondary option

Size: 95" x 61.5"

Care

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.
