Kantha is a centuries-old tradition of stitching patchwork cloth from rags, which evolved from the thrift of rural women in the Bengal region of India. Kantha refers to both the style of running stitch, as well as the finished cloth. It was a craft that was practiced by women of all classes

Traditionally old cotton fabric, which had turned incredibly soft through wear, were used to make these blankets. Kantha was an intimate utilitarian item made over time to be used by the family. The majority of Kantha’s were used as light coverlets during breezy monsoon nights and light winters.

This is a vintage item and is over 60 years old. The item is in exceptional condition considering its age
