We support women in a small local village community in West Bengal, who carefully hand stitch our fabrics whilst they enjoy having their children around them, and chatting amongst themselves with other women. We are dedicated to supporting livelihoods across in India, especially in rural regions.

Kantha: is the term used to describe the typical 'running stitch' needlework. This work is carefully done by hand (mostly by women) who sit together and stitch slowly, over several weeks. Our kantha embroidery features multiple layers of old fabric stitched together in its purpose to provide quilting and warmth. The thickness of each jacket depends on the amount of layers used, so each jacket can vary. Imperfections in vintage, re-purposed fabrics, are not uncommon and are a part of its rich life story. Some of our fabrics are up to 40 years old. Woven together to form its character and charm and a reminder of it's previous life, and its unique one-of-a-kind piece. 

Jacket depth: medium thickness

100% cotton. Due to its needlework, cold hand wash is recommended, though it may be washed on a delicate machine wash setting, in a cool temperature (under 30), no spin.
