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.
