Kantha: Old Sarees, New Stories
Ever wonder what happens to beautiful old sarees in India? In Sikra village and other small villages in West Bengal and bodering Bangladesh, they get a second life through the age-old Kantha technique.
Here's how it works: Hawkers collect vintage sarees from all over India. These sarees are then layered (at least 4-5 layers) to first make quilts. It's usually done by groups of women who sit together, chatting and stitching, turning these old fabrics into pieces of art. Their nimble fingers create patterns that tell stories - of tradition, of their village, of the fabric's past life.
Once they're done, our tailors step in, shaping these stitched-up saree quilts into wearable art. It's slow fashion at its best - and the best part? Every piece is unique, just like you.
When you wear our Kantha pieces, you're not just looking good. You're wearing someone's labor of love, supporting a village, and giving new life to old cloth. Pretty cool, right?
So next time someone compliments your jacket, you'll have quite a story to tell!

I love both the kantha cape and the bolero.
My order arrived.. Thank you Sindhu Holla, Soni and all the team for the patience, support and to the artisans for these great kantha products! I will spam you properly in the last day, but I love both the kantha cape and the bolero. The kantha is so lightweight and it folds incredibly small. I thought the 'back' part was black but it's actually blue! I tried wearing it belted as a top for a start.

The kantha vintage silk cape is beautifully worked and looks and feels very precious. I am lokking forward to wearing it as soon as it is less hot. In autumn evenings this will be the perfect add-on.

Love the colors and the pattern
My new Kantha cape! Simply love the colors and the pattern! Endless possibilities of mix and match. Today I’ve paired it with linen pants and a burgundy red silk top. A golden necklace with the right vibe to complete the outfit! Isn’t it simply gorgeous?

Reversible clothing is brilliant imho
Ok, I couldn’t figure out what colors I already have that match the other side of my beloved silk cape. But today I put navy with it and found an old pair of earrings that are a Super close match to the color! Reversible clothing is brilliant imho. Why don’t more companies make versatile pieces?!
