Style & Details
Cut from vintage kantha quilts, each jacket is entirely unique. Hand-stitched cotton layers offer a softly structured feel – light yet warm and breathable.
The roomy sleeves are perfect for layering and look great rolled to reveal the patterned lining. Two front patch pockets add function and laid-back charm. Its boxy, oversized cut pairs effortlessly with dresses, trousers, shorts or denim.
Craft & Character
Every kantha quilted jacket tells a story. These pieces are crafted from recycled quilts, each with visible hand stitching and unique colour combinations. The textures and details speak of time, care, and tradition – now reimagined into something wearable and modern.
The artistry in each stitch reflects generations of textile heritage. No two jackets are ever the same, and that’s what makes them so special.
Wear It Your Way
Whether thrown on for a morning walk, worn as a standout indoor layer, or styled up for an evening out, the Kantha Chore Quilted Jacket brings warmth, expression, and soul to your wardrobe. A celebration of slow fashion and individuality.
Each jacket begins with vintage kantha quilts, hand-embroidered textiles that are between 30 and 80 years old. These reclaimed layers carry history, texture, and soul.
Because every quilt is different, no two jackets are ever the same. Patterns shift, colours vary, and each one features its own distinct kantha stitch style running across the surface.
We create these jackets in small, limited-edition batches. The image shown reflects the style and colourway of this particular piece.
To keep things simple and clear, each jacket is listed individually. Once it’s gone, it’s truly gone . So if this one catches your eye, now’s the time to make it yours.
Kantha stitching began over 500 years ago in Eastern India, especially in Bengal, as a practical way to reuse worn-out textiles. Women layered old saris, dhotis, and household cloths, then stitched them together by hand to create quilts that added both warmth and comfort to daily life.
Rather than throwing fabric away, they gave it new purpose – salvaging even the threads from other garments to complete the embroidery. Every piece of kantha reflects this mindful, hands-on approach.
Each stitch carries a story, rooted in tradition and shaped by necessity, turning simple cloth into something lasting and meaningful.
