Absolutely amazing free-size jacket. Handmade from the best quality thick Vintage Kantha Blanket.
Kantha is a style of stitching found in Indian embroidery that we use in our jackets. Originally found in Bangladesh, Bengal, Odisha and Tripura. Although there are similar styles of this stitch found all over India.
Classically created by stacking old saris onto each other and hand stitching them together using a simple running stitch to make a thin cushioned layer. Traditionally Bengali women layered together old discarded clothing with the simple kantha (running stitch) style, repurposing the old into something useful and protective. Created to add an extra layer of warmth making them perfect to upcycle into jackets.
