KANTHA COAT STORY
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.
What is Kantha Stitching?
Kantha stitching is a centuries-old embroidery tradition from Eastern India, particularly Bengal. With roots over 500 years deep, it began as a way to recycle worn-out saris, dhotis, and household cloths—layered and hand-stitched into quilts for warmth and everyday use.
Each stitch tells a story. Even the threads were often pulled from old textiles, making kantha an early form of upcycling—both resourceful and deeply personal.
