About Kantha:

Kantha stitch represents the creative spirit of women, originating as embroidered quilts in Bengal nearly a thousand years ago. Originally used to keep babies warm, the Kantha technique has transformed into an art form, with motifs, fields of colour, and intricate lines adorning various textiles.

Biswa Bangla collaborates with thousands of craftswomen from Birbhum district, ensuring the revitalization of this ancient art. With design innovations and product diversification, Kantha has found its place on silk and cotton textiles, as well as home furnishings. These efforts have improved the livelihoods of women artisans, empowering them to invest in education, health, and well-being.

Colour, Texture & Wash Care Information:

• General: The colour and texture may slightly vary from the product images due to the handwoven nature of the saree.

• Embroidery: Minor irregularities, typical of handwoven and hand-embroidered products, enhance the beauty and authenticity of the Kantha saree. These small variations are loved by connoisseurs for the unique charm they bring, distinguishing handmade items from machine-made ones.

• Handwoven: Missing yarn, slobs, and uneven yarn contrasts are common in handwoven products and contribute to their distinctive beauty.
