The Surya double kantha quilt.
❃ Handcrafted from six layers of time softened, repurposed sari cloth, quilted together by hand using a traditional kantha stitch.
❃ Size: 200cm x 200cm. Our Basha quilts are weighty (approximately 1.7kg - 2kg).
❃ Our Basha kantha feature the hand-stitched name of the woman artisan who made it.
❃ 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.
❃ This quilt has been handcrafted by the women artisans of 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 heirloom pieces, the artisans are now employed in work that provides freedom, livelihood and a brighter future. Your purchase enables us to continue to directly support the livelihood of our women artisans. Find out more about their work here.
❃ The word 'kantha' means 'patched cloth' and skilful repairs simply enhance the vintage character of this quilt. All our quilts are perfectly imperfect, with subtle variations and patches that celebrate their handmade nature. Our vintage kantha quilts are handcrafted from vintage textiles which have lived a full life before becoming a kantha quilt.
❃ Our kantha are unique finds, not to be stumbled across again.
