DESCRIPTION

Coming from our limited release 2022 collection, this Cocoon Kantha Jacket is one-of-a-kind. The word Kantha [khan-tha] bears reference to the Bengali meaning for ‘old cloth’ as well as the typical straight running stitch which runs along the layered patches holding the quilt pieces together.

For hundreds of years, women in these impoverished regions have made Kantha quilts out of their worn and torn sari’s; to repurpose waste and keep warm. Over time however, Kantha has developed as a generational artistry; something that symbolically imparts story, aesthetic beauty and well-wishing for loved ones.

Designed as an heirloom piece, intended to pass down from generation to generation, this jacket will suit a variety of sizes and needs, featuring rounded, cocoon-like sleeves and hanging off the body in a relaxed, cardigan style.
