Patchwork & Kantha Embroidered Cotton Throw with Vermillion Border

Emblazoned with one-of-a-kind patchwork and superior kantha embroidery, this cotton throw features a design that is cut above the rest! Patchwork is an emblem of sustainability wherein scrap fabrics are upcycled to speak the green memo out loud. North Indian artisans employ the art of patchwork to fashion this throw. The entire work is completed in one layer of fabric with the patches facing on top. The pattern is usually repeated all over the bigger fabric with attractive colors. It is typically followed by hand embroidery, a popular craft in India. Making the most out of the technique of kantha embroidery, this throw has a cozy vibe about itself that your customers will find to be extremely endearing. Kantha, the pride of West Bengal, had humble origins. Bengali home-makers mended old clothes by taking out strands of thread from their colorful saree borders, making simple designs with them. The traditional form of Kantha embroidery was done with soft fabrics, with a simple running stitch along the borders. Kantha in its truest form was invented out of necessity and made in varying sizes and layers by the women of the household. Today, this 500-year-old craft has gained a new commercial dimension. Rendering offerings that are patched, quilted and vividly embroidered, Kantha is all about dexterous handwork. The art of creating these beautiful offerings has been passed down from generation to generation of craftsmen and honed to perfection
