Kantha is actually a form of embroidery, sometimes used to depict symbols of nature like the sun or the tree of life. With their whimsical fabrics and uneven stitching, kantha throws are fun, colorful accessories. Yet, like other quilting traditions, the art form has rich cultural roots. For centuries in India and Bangladesh, Bengali women stitched together old saris and cloth scraps to form blankets and cushions. “Kantha” is the Sanskrit word for rags, and old cloth was believed to provide protection from harm. Sometimes, several generations of women would work on the same heirloom quilt. Both sides of a kantha quilt are equally decorative but not identical. This vest is made with superior quality, 3-layer, authentic vintage Kantha quilts imported directly from India!
