Details

A beautiful antique Kantha throw hand stitched from many layers of recycled cotton sari cloth, creating a wonderfully soft textile full of history and character. Faded shades of peach, blush pink, lavender, cream and soft turquoise blend together beautifully, while rows of traditional Kantha stitching run throughout the piece.

The many layers and visible patches tell the story of a textile that has been lovingly used and repaired over generations. Rich in texture and wonderfully timeworn, this piece brings warmth and soul to a bed, sofa or favourite chair.

A one-of-a-kind treasure, impossible to replicate.

Why We Love It

We love the beautiful softness and faded colours of this piece. The layers of old sari cloth and generations of hand stitching create a depth and texture that simply cannot be reproduced. Every patch, repair and line of stitching tells part of its story, making this much more than a throw. It is a piece of textile history.

Materials + Care

The majority of our pieces are vintage or handmade and are chosen for their character as much as their beauty.

• Natural signs of age and wear are part of their story.
• Spot clean where possible.
• Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
• Professional cleaning is recommended for larger textiles and rugs.
• Wool and natural fibres benefit from occasional airing and gentle care.

Kantha textiles are made from layers of reclaimed sari cloth and are designed to be lived with and loved. Should your piece ever need a little extra care, I am always happy to send complimentary Kantha patches from my collection of scraps for sympathetic repairs. Sometimes the mending simply becomes part of the story.
