Item Description

Handmade Kantha Throw

One of a kind, handmade Kantha Throw features a pleasing white-and-pink on black flower design with white overstitching. 50" x 80", 100% Cotton, Dry Clean Only. Made in India.

Both the ancient and modern understanding of "upcycling" finds an outlet in the art of Kantha: "The tradition of Kantha begins with a beautiful expression of Indian Bengali women. Women hand stitched kantha for their loved ones: their children, husbands and parents. Women take ancient cloth and sew them together with a running stitch to create something new. The ancient cloth is said to keep the user safe from harm."
