About Kantha:

The Kantha stitch is an embodiment of women's creativity and craftsmanship, originating in Bengal as embroidered quilts around a thousand years ago. Initially used to keep babies warm, Kantha embroidery has evolved into a vibrant art form, now seen on a variety of textiles including sarees.

Biswa Bangla collaborates with thousands of craftswomen from Birbhum district, bringing design improvement and product diversification to the traditional Kantha stitch on silk and cotton textiles. This effort has not only enriched the craftsmanship but also contributed to improving the livelihood, education, and well-being of these artisans.

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, are part of the unique charm of Kantha sarees. These variations enhance the authenticity and beauty of the piece, which is highly valued by those who appreciate handmade textiles.

• Handwoven: Missing yarn, slobs, and uneven yarn contrasts are common in handwoven products and add to the unique appeal and beauty of the saree.
