Two deep front patch pockets keep things practical. Fold back the sleeves to reveal a surprise lining of intricate, contrasting kantha patterns – each sleeve tells a different story. Every coat is made with care to highlight the unique hand-stitched details in each quilt.
We source authentic vintage kantha quilts, each hand-stitched by women in India using layers of worn saris. These beautiful old textiles are given new life in a coat that honours their past and makes them wearable today.
This isn’t just a coat. It’s slow fashion at its best – low waste, thoughtful, and made to last. From the careful quilt selection to the final stitch, we make every piece with intention and soul.
Slip into this kantha coat and wrap yourself in something truly special.
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.
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.
