  • Our intricate, Northern-style kantha blankets are a living piece of artwork, crafted from repurposed saris in a village in Bangladesh.
  • It is stitched in a traditional style of kantha for northern Bengal  — dense stitching with thicker thread  — with designs more elaborate in addition to the straight, running stitch.
  • Blankets vary in size and thickness. As is typical in rustic kantha, these blankets are 2 - 4 layers of cloth. There may be minor imperfections or unique elements of a rustic, handicraft produced by an individual in a home; each have still passed our quality inspection & standards. Details on this particular blanket below.
  • Handcrafted by women in a village in Bangladesh, they work for several hours per day and complete a blanket over ~2 months. This blanket provides good work that allows her to stay in her home village without migrating to the city.
