About Kantha

Kantha embroidery, known for its intricate and beautiful stitches, is a Geographical Indication (GI) product of Bengal. It originated about a thousand years ago as embroidered quilts used to keep babies warm, and over time, evolved into an art form. The Kantha stitch now creates delicate lines, motifs, and patterns on a variety of textiles.

Biswa Bangla has worked closely with thousands of women artisans in the Birbhum district, focusing on design improvements and product diversification. This collaboration has revived the traditional Kantha stitch on silk and cotton textiles, along with home furnishings, resulting in better income and opportunities for women to improve their quality of life, including education, health, and sanitation.
