Story behind the fabric / embroidery

Kantha lays at the cross-roads of art, craft, fashion & design, combining meticulous artistry, story-telling & thrift. Deeply rooted in India, it is rich in the history & symbolism of the Bengal region, where it is crafted.

A humble art, created today as it has been for centuries in small, unassuming village homes. This ancient folk tradition has a timeless appeal, and a powerful, positive economic & social impact on the women who create it.

This collection is for those who cherish beauty, the imperfection of the handmade, & believe in the power of cloth to tell stories & connect worlds. 

The epitome of luxury, one piece from our collection can take up to 6 months of dedicated embroidery.

Each piece has been laboriously hand embroidered by women's cooperatives in rural West Bengal & the clothing stitched by brothers Parvez & Lal in Delhi.
