About Kantha:

Kantha stitch is a testament to the creativity of women artisans, originating as embroidered quilts in Bengal over a thousand years ago. Initially used for keeping babies warm, it has evolved into a full-fledged art form, with intricate lines, fields of colour, and motifs woven into various textiles.

Biswa Bangla works closely with craftswomen from Birbhum district, fostering design improvements and product diversification. This collaboration has revived Kantha stitch on silk and cotton textiles, along with home furnishing products. Increased income from these efforts has empowered women to invest in education, nutrition, healthcare, and sanitation.

Colour, Texture & Wash Care Information:

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

• Embroidery: Minor irregularities are typical of handwoven and hand-embroidered products and add to their charm. These unique variations are appreciated by connoisseurs and differentiate handmade items from machine-made ones.

• Handwoven: Missing yarn, slobs, and uneven yarn contrasts are common in handwoven textiles and contribute to the distinctive beauty of the saree.
