Sari Cushion Cover, Blue Silk, 46cm Handmade

Dimensions: Approximately 46cm x 46cm (approx. 18in x 18in)

Bold colours, ornate decorative patterns, and charming patchwork reflect local vibrancy and spirit and ensure no one else has a cushion exactly like yours.The word 'kantha' means 'patched cloth' and Bangladeshi and Northwest Indian women have made functional items like in this method for centuries. These stunning kantha products are superimposed layers of vintage saris, carefully hand-sewn with neat rows of contrasting thread to form a beautiful finished piece. Each item is made from 100% reclaimed luxe sari cloth, taking approximately 13 hours to stitch by hand (depending on experience).These unique pieces were handcrafted by women who were previously trafficked into or otherwise engaged in formal or floating sex work (or at risk), now employed in work that brings dignity & livelihood. Our kantha blankets are all made in a generous, safe space by vulnerable and at-risk women who can now work with dignity because of purchases like yours. We stand by our products and are confident that you won't find a kantha that is as unique, versatile, rich in story, or as well-constructed as our beautiful hand-stitched kantha products.

Material: Soft cotton cloth from repurposed saris, reverse is made from raw cotton (off-white)

Care: Dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the vibrant colour and texture of your luxe kantha cushion cover
