DESCRIPTION

The Kantha Jacket is from our first Kantha Collection in 2021. This boxy cut cropped fit jacket features frill details across the back and front chest and tie cords on the sleeve cuffs.

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.

Each one of our Kantha pieces is one-of-a-kind.
