About Kantha

Kantha, a Geographical Indication (GI) product of Bengal, is a legendary art form that showcases women’s creativity. Originally developed as embroidered quilts about a thousand years ago, it was used for keeping babies warm. Over time, it has evolved into a full-fledged art, with intricate stitches, motifs, and colourful patterns embroidered onto textiles.

Biswa Bangla has partnered with thousands of craftswomen in Birbhum district to further improve designs and diversify products, reintroducing the Kantha stitch onto silk and cotton textiles, as well as home furnishings. This has not only supported the preservation of the craft but also uplifted the women artisans, improving their income, confidence, and quality of life.

Colour, Texture & Wash Care Information

• Colour: The colour and texture of the product may slightly vary from the photograph due to lighting or display settings.

• Care Instructions: Dry clean only to preserve the embroidery.

• Embroidery: Slight irregularities are inherent in handwoven, hand-embroidered, or hand-crafted products. These small variations are what make handmade items unique, as they are absent in machine-made products.

• Handwoven Nature: Missing yarn, slobs, and uneven yarn contrasts are common in handwoven products. These features are natural outcomes of the hand-weaving process, contributing to the beauty and uniqueness of each piece.
