Gila Large Kantha Quilt
Gila, a beautiful, soft, double kantha quilt.
❃ Our Basha kantha quilts are six layers of vintage cotton sari, hand-sewn together using a traditional kantha stitch.
❃ Made of 100% upcycled cotton sari cloth. Time softened sari cotton creates a lightly-quilted, cosy feel.
❃ Size: Our large throws are 2 m x 2 m and weigh approximately 1.7 kg.
❃ The word 'kantha' means 'patched cloth' and skilful repairs simply enhance the vintage character of this 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 Pnomila.
❃ Care: Our kantha quilts are machine washable (and in fact get softer over more time & use). To extend the life of your kantha we recommend: limiting full washing, do not use bleach or harsh detergents, use cold settings and hang dry or tumble on low heat.
❃ Handmade by women who were previously trafficked into or otherwise engaged in formal or floating sex work (or at risk), now employed in work that brings dignity & livelihood. These are beautiful heirloom pieces which provide freedom and opportunity to the women who hand crafted your kantha quilt. Learn more about Basha.
