Kantha is a type of embroidery used to create quilts from found and recycled fabrics, including vintage Indian blanketsand saris. The hand stitching is unique to the artisan, whose personal needlework is showcased in each finished product. The craft of kantha is thousands of years old and deeply rooted in rich cultures and traditions.

Vintage Kantha Throw

In rural Indian homes, kantha quilts are offered to guests as a kind expression of welcome. Visiting friends and family find comfort and warmth in the beautiful handcrafted blankets. Each piece is meaningful and totally unique.

Vintage Kantha Quilts in Bedrooms

I want to own several and stack them on top of my white wooden cabinet in my sitting room – then they are available for warmth when snuggling on the sofa at night and by day, add color to the room and a jolt of personality.

Queen Vintage Kantha Throw

Because of the nature of vintage recycled products, each sari and kantha varies from the next. Every tag order will be completely unique, and the prints, patterns, and colors will not be exactly as pictured in our catalogs or online. All kantha products include a handmade hang tag describing the kantha story. Recommended care instructions: machine wash cold separately, line dry.
