Kantha Throw 'Wild Rose' - Handmade, Fair Trade and Upcycled
£95.00
A beautiful, soft, 100% upcycled cotton sari, handmade, kantha quilt. Each kantha is one-of-a-kind with it’s own unique variations and each one features the hand-stitched name of the woman who made it. This quilt was handmade by Shirin.
Our kantha throws are so much more than just a throw. Handcrafted by very special women at Basha, a fair trade social enterprise in Bangladesh that helps survivors of sex trafficking and women at risk rebuild their lives. Through the creation of these beautiful and unique items, the artisans are now employed in work that brings dignity, livelihood and a brighter future.
❃ Size: 15 x 12 x 11cm ❃ Our kantha quilts are six layers of vintage sari, hand-sewn together by women in Bangladesh using a traditional kantha stitch and rows of complex regional stitching. Time softened sari cotton creates a lightly-quilted, cosy feel. ❃ The word 'kantha' means 'patched cloth' and skilful repairs simply enhance the vintage character of this quilt. ❃ Made of 100% upcycled cotton sari cloth. The cloth used in our kanthas is re-purposed, which means no new dyes or inks, no by-products of production; the only factory-produced supplies we use are thread ❃ Our classic throws are half the length of a sari: approximately 2 m x 1 m (6'8" x 3'4"), the perfect size to drape over a sofa or bed. ❃ This quilt is double-sided and features two different patterns. ❃ Our kantha quilts are machine washable (and in fact get softer over more time & use).
❃ A PURCHASE WITH PURPOSE ❃ By purchasing a Kantha Karma item you are choosing to buy better. All of our products respect people and the planet. We work only with fair trade organisations that put artisans first. Your purchase enables us to continue to directly support the livelihood of our artisans.
