This beautiful handmade quilt is handcrafted from 100% upcycled, time softened cotton saris.
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.
❃ Our kantha quilts are six layers of vintage sari, hand-sewn together by women in Bangladesh using a traditional kantha stitch. Time softened sari cotton creates a lightly-quilted, cosy feel. ❃ A true ethical beauty, being fairtrade, sustainable and upcycled. ❃ Handmade from 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. ❃ The word 'kantha' means 'patched cloth' and skilful repairs simply enhance the vintage character of this quilt. ❃ Our large throws are approximately double sized: 2 m x 2 m (6'8" x 6'8") and weigh 1.7 kg. ❃ Our kantha quilts are machine washable (and in fact get softer over more time & use). ❃ This quilt is double-sided and features two different patterns.. two quilts in one! ❃ 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. ❃ These are beautiful heirloom pieces which provide freedom and opportunity to the women who hand crafted your kantha quilt. Handmade by women who were previously trafficked into or otherwise engaged in formal or floating sex work, now employed in work that brings dignity & livelihood.
❃ 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.
