About
Our interest in kantha arose from a kind of treasure hunt, during which ancient traditions' charm and uniqueness fascinated us.
As we delved deeper into the history and technique of kantha, we were captivated by the versatility and the potential for boundless creativity within this traditional art form. The kantha stitches, whether simple or intricate, convey emotions, stories, and traditions. Kantha carries a true imprint of the hands that create it, crafted with love and meticulous attention by its makers.
This breathtaking art form is not only beautiful but also sustainable. The art of kantha upcycles discarded materials, reduces waste, and contributes to sustainable practices. This aspect is essential to us, as we strive to lead an ethical and environmentally friendly lifestyle. Our passion for kantha has grown more substantial, and our goal has become to share a wide variety of captivating kantha creations with others in the form of various garments, accessories, and bedcovers.
We hope to initiate a mindset that honours the past while celebrating the vibrant future of kantha in the spirit of sustainability. If you'd like to see our collection in person, come and see us at the Makers' Market events - see you there :)
