Our kantha blankets make the perfect backdrop to your picnic celebration or watching of fireworks. They're also beautiful and cozy in the home too.
Kantha (meaning "patched cloth") is a tradition and a craft. We use kantha to refer to the small, straight, running stitch that quilts our sari-cloth blankets together.
The tradition of kantha, originated in the Bengal region of eastern South Asia, captures a long history of making something useful and beautiful out of discarded cloth.
