What is Kantha?
Kantha is an age-old art listed as a UNESCO heritage site.
Women assemble several layers of fabric, most often saris, which they embroider by hand. This activity brings together women regardless of caste or religion. This exceptional work gives them financial autonomy.
We participate in this art using kanthas. By wearing them you contribute to highlighting their art.
Please note, as each piece is made with old fabrics, time may have left traces of wear which give all the charm to these handicraft products. No kantha in poor condition was selected, but we love it when showy patchworks consolidate part of the garment.
Each model is of course a unique piece that you will not find anywhere else.
We work in collaboration with workshops in Jaipur, India in accordance with our ethical values.
Each garment is made from recycled saris and selected one by one by Anne-Marie.
