Kantha is a traditional method of sewing together layers of cotton saris using a simple running stitch called ‘Kantha‘. This age old method of recycling originated in Bangladesh and was an excellent way of creating quilts from pre-existing fabric. Each piece is completely unique with a different colour way and design on the reverse allowing a different look for your room depending on which side is shown.

As the material is vintage, sometimes there are small blemishes and even the odd patch.
