Kantha Throw

Our kantha throws make the perfect backdrop to a table setting as a table cloth or warmth and comfort as a blanket. Kantha (meaning patched cloth) is a tradition and a craft. Kantha refers to the small, straight, running stitch that quilts the 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.
