Kantha - Walk down with Memories


Every Bengali kid born before the '90 s would fondly recount their first handmade, soft beautifully hand embroidered swaddling blanket. Their comfort blanket made by their grandmas. They are unmatched and unparalleled and uniquely made with love and passed on as heirlooms. Yes, we are talking about Kantha, made with vintage sari and with simplest running stitches all over the design. The indigenous Bengal Kantha designs allure by folktales are floral motifs, animal and bird figures with geometrical embellish. Grandmas with their unique skills created variations to this embroidery which uses other stitches too.Cross stitch is sometimes used to create the design. Anarasi Kantha work involves the motif of pineapple. Wave kantha and Sujani Kantha are other varieties of this beautiful embroidery. Gudris of Punjab is a similar work
Wrap yourself with the love of Grandma and steal the show with the look of a coolest 'kid' among the party mongers.
